Following the successful initial production contract with HyperAccel, mass production volumes are projected to expand steadily, driven by follow-on purchase orders (POs) aligned with HyperAccel\u2019s ongoing service rollout and expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The chip is an accelerator optimized for AI inference workloads, including large language models (LLMs), and is a \u201cBig Die\u201d of more than 500 mm\u00b2. As die size increases, managing power consumption, heat dissipation, and manufacturing yield becomes far more challenging. SEMIFIVE brought this demanding advanced-node project into successful mass production by delivering a complete turnkey solution spanning front-end design and verification through packaging, testing, and volume manufacturing supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This achievement marks a full-scale ramp-up in SEMIFIVE&#8217;s growth. Following the mass production of the &#8216;Wisenet 9&#8242; AI ASIC chip for Hanwha Vision&#8217;s security cameras in Q3 of last year, a high-performance computing (HPC) AI chip for a Japanese customer in Q2 of this year, and the data center AI inference accelerator in Q3 of this year, SEMIFIVE has added another key mass-production program to its pipeline. This demonstrates SEMIFIVE&#8217;s ability to build stable, recurring revenue beyond one-time NRE projects through mass production. By aligning with customers&#8217; long-term product roadmaps and diversifying its portfolio across various application domains and technical complexities, the company is strengthening both business continuity and earnings momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Backed by this expanding production lineup, the company is experiencing rapid financial growth. SEMIFIVE secured KRW 42.3 billion in new mass-production orders in the first half of this year alone\u2014nearly double its full-year order intake of KRW 21.2 billion for the entirety of last year. Quarterly order intake surged by 71% from KRW 15.6 billion in Q1 to KRW 26.7 billion in Q2, with overseas orders accounting for 45% of Q2 bookings, marking the full-scale activation of its global business pipeline. With a virtuous cycle now established, design wins are translating into mass-production revenue. The quality of order intake has also improved, supported by stable OEM volumes backed by secured end customers and high-value data center ASIC projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;As the AI landscape shifts from training to inference, demand for ASIC accelerators in data centers is surging,&#8221; said CEO of SEMIFIVE. \u201cThis successful mass production is a significant milestone that validates our unmatched execution capabilities in advanced processes. By combining our customer&#8217;s innovative architecture with SEMIFIVE&#8217;s comprehensive turnkey capabilities, we seamlessly executed the entire journey from design to volume production for a large-area die of more than 500 mm\u00b2. We are committed to carrying the strong mass-production momentum demonstrated in the first half through the remainder of the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEOUL, South Korea,\u00a0September 8, 2026\u00a0\/PRNewswire\/ &#8212;\u00a0SEMIFIVE, a leading global provider of custom AI semiconductor (ASIC) solutions, announced today that it has begun mass production of a data center AI inference accelerator for HyperAccel.
