On October 10th, BOS Semiconductors, a South Korean automotive semiconductor startup, announced that it is partnering with Tenstorrent, an AI semiconductor company based in North America, to develop automotive SoC(System-on-chip) semiconductors for automobile and automobile part manufacturers.  

As part of this agreement, BOS will license Tenstorrent’s AI Tensix core technology to incorporate into BOS Semiconductors’ line of automotive SoCs. Tensix cores are a key element of Tenstorrent’s proprietary AI accelerator chips that are optimized for handling high performance workloads necessary for complex features required for future mobility. Combining BOS Semiconductors’ expertise in automotive SoC design with Tenstorrent's next-generation AI technology will provide a solid foundation for securing a leadership position in the market that both companies can build upon together.

"The automotive industry is facing more technical challenges and innovations than ever before," said Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent.  “Jaehong Park and BOS Semiconductors have a great vision for a line of SoCs based on our technology that will be ideal for meeting this moment.”

BOS Semiconductors CEO Jaehong Park said, "Through our collaboration with Tenstorrent, we expect to develop low-power and high-performance automotive SoC semiconductors that improve processing speed, accuracy, and power efficiency. This will enable us to compete successfully in the automotive semiconductor market that is rapidly evolving around new technologies such as connected vehicles and autonomous driving.”
