Okay, so I guess Samsung’s trying to grab the chip throne, which is kinda wild when you think about it. Like, tiny 2nm stuff! Who would’ve imagined?
So, yeah, Samsung vs. TSMC in this micro-micro world. TSMC has been the big boss with their 2nm whatchamacallit. But Samsung isn’t just sitting around. Nope, they’re in the game—or at least that’s what the whispers from Korea (thank you, Chosun Biz) are hinting at. Seems like the big boys, NVIDIA and Qualcomm, are poking around Samsung’s new tech, like they’re trying on a new pair of shoes or something. Strange imagery, I know.
There’s a whole dilemma with TSMC being too swamped—like, seriously, imagine a crowded subway but with chips. Apple, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, they don’t wanna bet everything on one pony, y’know? So, double-sourcing sounds good, and Samsung might just be that new partner in crime. Though, let’s be real, Samsung’s past attempts, like that 3nm GAA thing, kinda fell flat on their face. But hey, everyone loves a comeback, right?
Picture time! Not really, but Samsung’s showing some growth spurts with this 2nm gig. Their yield’s at 40%, climbing up like a curious cat, while TSMC’s at 60%. Close game, I’d say. And they’re even eyeing the US for their 2nm wizardry—Taylor’s prepping for that. So yeah, we’re all ears on how Samsung’s saga unfolds. Feels like they’re on solid ground with this 2nm magic. Let’s see if it sticks!
