Second shock to Samsung: TSMC claim for Snapdragon 8 Gen1+

Another bad news came to Samsung, which could not get the efficiency it expected from the Exynos 2200 chipset, which it developed with AMD with great expectations. TSMC will produce the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ chipset.

What will the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ offer?

According to information from the industry, there is a problem in the production of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset. Due to Samsung’s inability to solve efficiency problems, Qualcomm shifted some of the production to TSMC.

Qualcomm, which wants to meet the intense flagship promotion wind in the first months of the new year, intends not to lose a share to the Dimensity 9000 chipset in this fight. In addition to smartphones, there is significant competition in tablets as well.

In the midst of this struggle, and moreover, at a time of the global chip crisis, Samsung’s productivity problem has created anxiety. Qualcomm has also started the production of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ chipset, which will bring 5-10 percent performance improvement. TSMC will manufacture the new chip on the 4nm process and will be available sooner than expected.

Similar claims have been made before for the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ chipset, which is expected to be used in flagships such as Xiaomi 12 Ultra and Mix 5, but the time issue has also started to be on the agenda. It is stated that the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ chipset may be released in the early summer months.
