In the past months, Qualcomm left Samsung Foundry behind due to efficiency problems in Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and knocked on the door of Taiwan-based giant manufacturer TSMC. Now, reliable leakster Ming-Chi Kuo said that Qualcomm will sign an exclusive contract with TSMC for its upcoming new chips, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
TSMC’s market leadership grows
The biggest reason behind Qualcomm’s move to TSMC is thought to be the 35 percent efficiency rate experienced in Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 production. Because this shows that only 35 of every 100 parts produced are usable. With the new development, we can say that Qualcomm, one of the most important customers of Samsung Foundry when it comes to flagship chips, will significantly increase TSMC’s market leadership.
It is estimated that Qualcomm, which has kept its silence against the emerging claims, will adhere to the 4nm production process used in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 series in its new generation chips.
