While many of us may know Samsung for its consumer electronics products like smartphones and televisions, the company is much more than that. This South Korean tech giant has various departments responsible for producing displays, batteries, and, importantly, manufacturing chips. What’s impressive is that they excel in this aspect as well.

For instance, Samsung Foundry was the first company globally to introduce and commercially offer a 3nm chip fabrication technology. However, progress in technology never stands still, and Samsung claims that including themselves, will soon launch chips made using their 1.4nm and 2nm technology. Here are the details…

Samsung Foundry Claims Multiple Firms Will Launch Chips Made Using Its 1.4nm, 2nm Tech,

Samsung Foundry has been making significant advancements in semiconductor manufacturing technology. The company is now aiming to take chip fabrication technology even further with 1.4nm and 2nm processes. At the Semiconductor Expo 2023 event held in South Korea, the CTO of Samsung Foundry, Jeong Ki-tae, revealed that the company is already in discussions with major chip clients regarding the utilization of 1.4nm and 2nm processes.

Furthermore, Samsung Foundry is working on a second-generation 3nm chip fabrication process. This technology is expected to be used in the production of chips like the Exynos 2500 and potentially the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which could be available as early as late 2024. Of course, it’s worth mentioning that Samsung is not the only company working on this matter.

Many competitors, including TSMC, are also working to improve their production lines and produce the most powerful chips in a similar fashion. Nevertheless, the South Korean tech giant is doing its best to stay ahead, especially considering that the company’s profit margin has dropped by nearly 70% in the last quarter. This is quite significant.
