Recently, it emerged that Qualcomm requested 2-nanometer chips from both Samsung and TSMC for its Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 series. However, Samsung appears to have made significant progress in this regard. The company has secured a large order for 2nm chips from a Japanese startup called Preferred Networks (PFN). PFN’s preference for Samsung over TSMC in this field has surprised many people. This collaboration is expected to be highly profitable for both companies. Here are the details…
Samsung is ambitious with 2-nanometer chips
What makes PFN valuable to Samsung is its high capability in deep machine learning. If Samsung can incorporate this know-how knowledge used in supercomputers and advanced software design into its chips, it may outshine many competitors, especially TSMC. Moreover, PFN’s choice of Samsung’s chips will serve as a positive reference for new partnerships with other companies.
Considering PFN’s collaborations with Nvidia and Intel, this development could lead to even bigger changes in the chip sector than expected. Additionally, Samsung’s offering of reasonable prices for chips further demonstrates the company’s long-term sales strategy.
It remains to be seen whether the company can surpass TSMC by offering attractive pricing, as it embarks on the challenging operational process required for producing 2-nanometer chips.
