Samsung's semiconductor division faces challenges with its foundry business and client retention. Industry sources suggest the company is working to improve manufacturing processes at its 2 nm GAA facility. Competitors like TSMC lead the race with advanced chip design trials, though pricing concerns have emerged among key customers.
Qualcomm reportedly met with Samsung Foundry executives to discuss a potential next-generation Snapdragon mobile chipset. The chip might use Samsung's advanced 2 nm process at the Hwaseong S3 facility. Sources predict mass production could start early next year, with chip designs completing in 2025 and wafer runs beginning in early 2026.
Industry watchers note Samsung will likely produce around 1,000 twelve-inch wafers monthly for this project. The output represents about 15% of the company's current 2 nm manufacturing capacity. Samsung appears eager to secure new opportunities and potentially attract additional tech industry clients through this partnership.
