Samsung seems to have made new plans not to be left behind in chip technologies. Recent reports showed that the company is focusing directly on 2nm instead of the 3nm process. It was claimed that the first Samsung chips with the 2nm process could come out in 2025.

Samsung could release 2nm technology in 2025

According to information from South Korea, Samsung Foundry has taken a strategic step. It was stated that the company skipped the 3nm process and switched directly to the 2nm process. Thus, it aims for higher power dissipation and better performance.

It was known that Samsung has been working on the 3nm and 1.7nm process for a while. However, it was stated that Samsung has suspended these studies and wants to offer 2nm (SF2) technology by 2025. It should be reminded that there is no 3nm process on the company’s current roadmap.

Samsung reportedly experienced up to 19 percent shrinkage in test chips and a 9.2 percent reduction in cable length. These demonstration chips were also intriguing in that they were not part of Samsung’s joint development with Arm for the 2nm process.

Samsung wants to catch up with rivals like Intel and TSMC by delaying its plans for 3nm technology. It was stated that Apple and TSMC could switch to 2nm with iPhone 17. This could make the iPhone series much more performant and long-lasting.

With 2nm production, Samsung wants to stand out in high-performance applications such as smartphones and data center chips. Analysts expect Samsung to complete 2nm production by 2025 and deploy it next year.
