In 2022, TSMC announced that its 2nm fabrication process, dubbed N2, will be ready for mass production by 2025. Soon after that, it was reported that the chipset in Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro series phones would be the first to use TSMC’s 2nm fabrication process. However, after that, we didn’t get any update on the […]
Read MoreNext year’s iPhone 17 Pro will be the first iPhone to sport a chipset built on TSMC’s 2nm process, according to a new report today. TSMC announced it started working on a 2nm process back in 2022, and even back then rumor had it the iPhone 17 Pro would be the first device to get […]
Read MoreKye Hyun Kyung, President & CEO of Samsung Electronics’ Device Solutions Division, is on a tour of five cities in the United States to meet clients. During his tour, he got a chance to drive the Tesla Cybertruck and he seems pretty impressed with it. In a post on Instagram, Kyung shared a video of […]
Read MoreFor 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 […]

Read MoreAccording 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) […]
Read MoreApple is already designing the chips that will use TSMC’s next-generation 2-nanometer fabrication process, according to information allegedly sourced from an Apple employee on LinkedIn. Originally captured by Korean website gamma0burst and shared on X (Twitter) by the leaker Revegnus (@Tech_Reve), the information appears in a heavily redacted slide said to list the employee’s work […]
Read MoreSamsung 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. […]
Read MoreSamsung 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 […]
Read MoreEver 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. […]
Read MoreSamsung 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 […]
Read MoreLeading chip manufacturers Samsung and TSMC are already drafting plans for their respective 2nm manufacturing. According to a recent report by the SCMP (South China Morning Post) and the Korean Times, Samsung is planning to start 2nm manufacturing in South Korea next year. The company is also investing a total of KRW 500 trillion ($371 […]
Read MoreSamsung 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, […]

Read MoreApple will be the first company to receive chips built on the TSMC’s future 2-nanometer process, DigiTimes said today. According to sources that spoke to the site, Apple is “widely believed to be the initial client to utilize the process.” The report comes from DigiTimes “Tomorrow’s Headlines” alert, so additional details may be available in […]
Read MoreA few weeks ago, Samsung Electronics boss Lee Jae-yong embarked on a business trip to the Netherlands to make important business deals with semiconductor chip equipment maker ASML. He joined the South Korean president on a 4-day official trip after the Dutch King Willem-Alexander invited them to the Netherlands to discuss several chip deals. Samsung […]
Read MoreEver since the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 debacle, Qualcomm has switched most of its new chips to TSMC. Starting with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chips, the company has almost moved away from Samsung Foundry to TSMC, but it could come back to Samsung Foundry in the future, and that too for its flagship Snapdragon […]
Read MoreThe rivalry between TSMC and Samsung is never-ending. And right now, the Korean tech giant appears to have a leg up over its competitor in next-gen manufacturing technologies. Reports say that the economic climate has affected TSMC’s original plans for 2nm-based production, which means Samsung could beat its rival to the punch. Samsung might become […]
Read MoreSamsung is the second-biggest semiconductor chip fabrication company in the world after TSMC. Samsung Foundry and TSMC are the only chip fabrication firms that have been able to develop 3nm chips. However, Intel plans to overtake both firms by 2025 with its 18A (1.8nm) semiconductor chips. After lagging for years with 14nm and 10nm semiconductor […]
