India, June 9 -- In an effort to reduce its dependence on US-based chip makers for core AI technology, the Centre is reportedly planning to develop its own 2 nanometre (nm) graphics processing unit (GPU) from scratch by 2030.

With $200 Mn (around INR 1,700 Cr) in funding, engineers at Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-Dac) in Bengaluru have been tasked with developing the chip, a Mint report said, citing senior officials close to the matter.

An official further said that NVIDIA's product roadmap shows that by 2028, cutting edge chips will be based on 2 nm mode. "These chips will be the most advanced GPUs by the time we enter 2030."

Currently, the 3 nm chip, which is the most advanced chip, is used in Apple's iphone.
