Samsung Foundry division has reportedly started R&D work on chips for the next-generation Neuralink brain implant. This is the first time Samsung has landed an order from the Musk-backed neurotechnology company.

The project carries the internal codename “O1”. Samsung is developing a 4-nanometer process to manufacture what would be Neuralink’s fourth-generation implant chips, reports Hankyung (via SemiconductorsX).

Sources say the work is already underway inside Samsung’s foundry operation. Winning Neuralink isn’t just a contract; it’s a signal. Samsung is planting a flag in biotech silicon before most foundries have even thought to look.

Samsung has Tesla on its books; now it has Neuralink. The company is methodically threading itself through every major venture of Elon Musk.

TSMC’s dominance has always rested on trust. Samsung just started making a case that it belongs in the most sensitive chips on earth, the ones that go inside the human body.
