Samsung Electronics, one of the biggest chip-making firms worldwide, has grand plans to make advanced semiconductor chips in the US. To help with its plans, the US government had announced grants and tax sops. The South Korean firm is now close to getting a huge helping hand from the US government. A $6 billion grant […]
Samsung Foundry is among the world's biggest semiconductor chip makers. It frequently upgrades to newer and more advanced chip-making equipment. Usually, the companies making chips sell older equipment once they are phased out from their lineups, but Samsung and SK Hynix have stopped selling their older equipment, fearing backlash from the US. Older chip-making equipment […]
Samsung's Exynos chip brand went through a rough patch after the Exynos 2200 SoC and the Galaxy S22 series were released. Even though the S22 flagship was later optimized, it suffered from a rocky start. Many blamed the Exynos 2200 solution, especially because the select Galaxy S22 models powered by Qualcomm chips were superior. That's […]
Semiconductor industry watchers say Samsung Foundry might be gaining momentum and securing more clients thanks to the positive reception of the Galaxy S24 and the Exynos 2400 chip. New reports reconfirm that Google might be one of those clients this year. Google is developing a new Tensor chip for the upcoming Pixel 9 series, which […]
For the past few years, Samsung Foundry and TSMC were the only brands capable of making semiconductor chips on 7nm (or better) process nodes. While TSMC has been the best in performance and efficiency, Samsung was a good option for firms that couldn't afford TSMC or get enough volume. Intel and Rapidus plan to make […]
Samsung Foundry has been lagging behind TSMC over the past few years. Its semiconductor chips haven't been able to perform as well as those made by TSMC. Samsung reportedly plans to use Nvidia's Digital Twin technology based on its Omniverse platform to catch up with its Taiwanese rival. Samsung could use Nvidia's Digital Twin technology […]
According to a new report from Chosun Biz, Samsung Foundry is planning to integrate the Backside Power Delivery Network (BSPDN) technology in 2nm chips. In this technology, power lines are placed at the rear side of the wafer, which makes it easier to manufacture chips on smaller node sizes (especially node sizes smaller than 3nm) […]
Intel appears to be poking around in Samsung's backyard, as reports say that the US tech giant might be trying to secure contracts for chip manufacturing from fabless South Korean startups. New rumors say that Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger met with senior executives from South Korea last year. The CEO supposedly revealed Intel's foundry plans […]
Samsung Foundry has reportedly received an order from Japan's Preferred Networks (PFN) to make 2nm AI chips. The South Korean firm failed to attract chip clients for its 3nm semiconductor chip fabrication process, and most big chip firms went with TSMC's 3nm and 4nm processes. However, this seems like a small win for Samsung Foundry. […]
Samsung Foundry, Samsung Electronics' division that fabricates semiconductor chips, has announced its collaboration with Arm (Arm Holdings PLC) for optimized fabrication of next-generation Cortex-X series CPU cores. This collaboration will improve the performance and power efficiency of CPU cores using Arm's latest Cortex-X series designs and fabricated using Samsung Foundry's GAA process. Arm and Samsung […]
Taiwan-based TSMC is the leading contract chip manufacturer in the world. It takes up a major chunk of the very lucrative chipmaking market. Samsung has been trying hard to catch up to its rival but has been finding it difficult, particularly with TSMC's lead on the 3nm process. Samsung is now laser-focused on beating TSMC […]
Ever since Qualcomm abandoned Samsung Foundry for TSMC after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 fiasco, the company hasn't looked back. Three of its next-generation chips—Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3—are made by TSMC. However, the company might come back to Samsung Foundry if rumors are to be believed. […]
Samsung Electronics and TSMC are competing to get clients for their 2nm chip fabrication processes. While Samsung didn't get clients other than its own System LSI business for its 3nm process, it is hoping to compete with TSMC in a better way with its 2nm process, and it may have received a potential client in […]
Samsung announced back in 2021 that it's going to build a semiconductor plant in Taylor, Texas that's going to cost $17 billion. This was part of the company's plan to expand its global chip manufacturing facilities. The company had said back then that mass production of chips at this plant would begin by 2024. The […]
Samsung and TSMC are expanding their chip production facilities to other countries, like Japan and the USA, but they want to keep the most cutting-edge chip fabrication technologies in their home countries. While Samsung and TSMC plan to make 4nm chips in the US, they are keeping 2nm chip production in South Korea and Taiwan, […]
