Samsung is making a comeback in the chip game. Their 2nm chip process has reached 40% yield rates, way up from early 2025 numbers. This marks a huge improvement compared to their struggling 3nm chips that only hit 20-30% yield rates.
The Korean tech giant wants to challenge TSMC despite past failures. Companies seem interested in Samsung's offerings because TSMC's production lines are packed full. Clients also like Samsung's better prices. The industry might see major players like Apple, AMD, and NVIDIA trying both manufacturers instead of sticking with just one.
Samsung still needs to catch up, though. TSMC already has about 80% yield rates for its 2nm process. The Korean company must show better results before the second half of this year if it wants to compete. TSMC plans to start mass production at the end of 2025. Competition between these chip makers will be fiercer than ever before.
If Samsung can convince big tech companies to use its chips, it could grab a much bigger slice of the foundry market. Under new leadership, Samsung Foundry aims to turn its business around, and this upcoming 2nm process plays a key role in its strategy.
