Nintendo picked Samsung to make chips for the Switch 2 console instead of using longtime partner TSMC. The Korean company specializes in the 8nm process that Nintendo needs for its gaming device. This partnership opened doors for Samsung to attract other major technology companies. AMD and Sony both approached Samsung about making chips for their future products. The deal marks a rare victory for Samsung against industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
Samsung offers a higher production capacity than TSMC because it currently handles fewer orders from NVIDIA. Nintendo expects Switch 2 sales to exceed 20 million units and generate over $1 billion. The Korean manufacturer focuses on rebuilding trust with technology companies after previous struggles. Sony and AMD plan to create a portable gaming device called Project Jupiter using Samsung chips. This new partnership could use Samsung's advanced 2nm manufacturing process.
Samsung has been improving its 2nm chip production methods to match TSMC quality levels. The company expects orders from NVIDIA, AMD, and Sony for various technology products. Industry experts believe Samsung's foundry business might turn around after years of challenges. Switch two production will test Samsung's ability to meet high demand from Nintendo. The partnership's success could attract more companies to Samsung's chip manufacturing services.
