Intel in early talks to buy AI chip maker SambaNova, sources say
Intel is in early talks to acquire AI chip firm SambaNova, a move that could boost its AI datacentre hardware stack.
Intel has held preliminary discussions to acquire SambaNova Systems, a US maker of AI processors, according to people familiar with the matter. Talks are at an early stage and there is no certainty a deal will be struck; if completed, it could broaden Intel’s AI silicon portfolio and accelerate its data-centre strategy. SambaNova has pursued partnerships with hyperscalers and enterprises for custom AI hardware; an acquisition would reflect consolidation as big chip firms seek differentiated AI compute capabilities.
