BREAKING: Samsung will make Neuralink's next brain chip, taking the contract from TSMC, Korea's Hankyung newspaper reports.
It is the first Neuralink contract Samsung has ever won.
The chip uses Samsung's 4nm process. Internal codename is "O1."
The new chip can send signals back to the brain, not just read them.
This could help restore sight by stimulating brain neurons directly.
Test chips ship first half of 2027. Mass production may follow by end of 2027.
Samsung now makes chips for Tesla, xAI and Neuralink, three of Elon Musk's biggest companies.
