在今日的三星电子股东大会上，DS（设备解决方案）部门负责人庆桂显透露，公司预计在年底至明年初推出一款名为 Mach-1 的人工智能（AI）芯片。这款芯片的独特之处在于，它选择了LPDDR（低功耗双倍数据速率）内存，而非行业常见的高带宽内存（HBM），这将使得Mach-1在成本和能耗上更具优势。
据庆桂显介绍，Mach-1 芯片已经完成了基于 FPGA（现场可编程门阵列）的技术验证，目前正处于系统级芯片（SoC）设计的关键阶段。预计该芯片的制造过程将在今年底结束，随后在明年初，三星将推出基于Mach-1的AI系统。
Mach-1 被定位为轻量级AI芯片，旨在满足那些不需要高性能HBM内存，但对能效和成本有更高要求的市场。这一战略调整不仅反映了三星对AI芯片市场的深入洞察，也展示了其在内存技术上的创新与自信。通过采用LPDDR内存，三星有望在AI芯片领域开辟新的细分市场，吸引更广泛的客户群体。

**News Title:** “Samsung Set to Release AI Chip Mach-1: Abandons HBM for LPDDR Memory”
**Keywords:** Samsung AI chip, Mach-1, LPDDR memory
**News Content:**
Samsung Electronics announced plans to launch an AI chip called Mach-1, equipped with LPDDR (Low Power Double Data Rate) memory, targeting the lightweight market segment during today’s shareholders’ meeting.
庆桂显 (Kyung Kye-hyun), head of the DS (Device Solutions) division, revealed that the company expects to debut the Mach-1 AI chip by the end of this year or early next year. The standout feature of this chip is its adoption of LPDDR memory instead of the industry-standard High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which is expected to give it an edge in both cost and power consumption.
According to Kyung, the Mach-1 chip has completed technology validation based on an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), and it is currently in a critical phase of System-on-Chip (SoC) design. Manufacturing processes for the chip are anticipated to conclude by the end of this year, followed by the launch of AI systems based on Mach-1 in early 2023.
Positioned as a lightweight AI chip, Mach-1 aims to cater to markets that do not require high-performance HBM but prioritize energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This strategic move reflects Samsung’s in-depth understanding of the AI chip market and demonstrates its innovation and confidence in memory technology. By adopting LPDDR memory, Samsung aims to carve out a new niche in the AI chip sector and attract a broader customer base.
