Qualcomm shuns Samsung
 

Uses TSMC’s 7nm

Qualcomm has ended its foundry relationship with Samsung and opted for TSMC to produce its next-generation 7 nm semiconductor chips.

It has been a bad year for Samsung, it has also lost the Apple contract to produce its iPhone application processors (AP).

Samsung will not see all this impact straight away. It is entrusted to produce Qualcomm’s 10 nm APs and modem chips, but its operation rate of its factories will drop sharply starting from next year.

Qualcomm has been designing and developing its next-generation 7 nm Snapdragon AP by using chip development tool distributed by TSMC since second half of last year.
