Samsung Electronics’ System LSI division is developing a generative-AI accelerator for PCs codenamed GAIA and has supplied prototype samples to major OEMs including Lenovo and HP for performance validation, industry sources said. GAIA is built on a 4nm process and positioned as a storage‑centric AI accelerator that places compute close to memory; Samsung is also advancing integration with next‑generation DRAM processor-in-memory (PIM) technology that can execute operations on stored data.

Samsung Electronics’ System LSI division is developing a generative-AI accelerator for PCs codenamed GAIA and has supplied prototype samples to major OEMs including Lenovo and HP for performance validation, industry sources said. GAIA is built on a 4nm process and positioned as a storage‑centric AI accelerator that places compute close to memory; Samsung is also advancing integration with next‑generation DRAM processor-in-memory (PIM) technology that can execute operations on stored data. Unlike GPU-based accelerators used mainly for training and inference, GAIA is optimized for NPU architectures and targeted at generative AI tasks on the PC; mass production could begin as early as next year, the sources added.
