# DeepX Plans More Than $100 Million for AI Chip Using Samsung's 2-Nanometer Process By John Kim Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/56534 Published: 2026-11-13T10:07:57.000Z Updated: 2026-11-13T10:07:57.000Z Section: Business > DeepX has completed the DX-M2 design and submitted it to Samsung's foundry division. It expects first samples before March 2027 and targets mass production in 2028. South Korean chip startup DeepX plans to spend more than $100 million on the DX-M2, an AI processor built using Samsung Electronics' 2-nanometer process, moving the project from design completion toward production preparation. DeepX has completed the chip's design and submitted it to Samsung's foundry division for manufacturing. The company expects initial samples before March 2027, followed by customer evaluations. Mass production is planned for 2028. The project budget is expected to exceed $100 million and includes performance validation and production engineering. DeepX is targeting robots, industrial equipment and personal computers with AI features. The DX-M2 is designed to run AI models on devices instead of relying on remote data centers. DeepX's on-device approach is intended to reduce energy use, costs and latency associated with transferring data between devices and cloud infrastructure. Samsung has also discussed 2-nanometer production contracts with major technology companies as part of its wider foundry business push, alongside efforts to increase use of its 4-nanometer capacity in [earlier coverage of Samsung's foundry plans](). ## Links in this article - [earlier coverage of Samsung's foundry plans](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/35754)
