Samsung fights hard to win over graphics card giant NVIDIA as a major customer. The Korean tech company wants NVIDIA to order advanced 2nm computer chips for future graphics cards and artificial intelligence processors. Samsung hopes this partnership will boost profits at their struggling chip factory division. The company recently changed direction after years of trying to beat rival TSMC at making the smallest possible chips. Samsung decided to focus on perfecting their current 2nm technology rather than chasing newer designs.
The chip maker faces serious pressure to turn around their factory business that has lost money for years. Samsung currently produces 40 percent of working 2nm chips from each batch they make. Company leaders expect this success rate to improve enough for large scale production before 2025 ends. The firm already builds 8nm processors for Nintendo Switch 2 gaming systems. This existing relationship gives Samsung credibility when pitching NVIDIA on bigger contracts.
Samsung also wants to supply special memory chips called HBM3E and HBM4 to NVIDIA. The company recently won a deal to provide similar memory products to AMD for their artificial intelligence computers. These memory chip sales could bring Samsung billions of dollars in new revenue. The tech giant desperately needs major customers like NVIDIA to compete against TSMC. Samsung believes their 2nm technology will give customers a reliable alternative to TSMC factories.
