Samsung could manufacture AMD's next 4nm CPU and 3nm GPU beginning 2022

Samsung revealed its latest plans for chipset fabrication a couple of months ago when we learned that the company had already started the mass production of 4nm-based chipsets. Earlier this month, we learned that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC is manufactured by Samsung on a 4nm process, and according to a new report, AMD could also be turning to Samsung Foundry for its next 4nm CPU designed for Chromebooks.

 


AMD has previously only worked with two semiconductor factories - TSMC and GlobalFoundries - but if the report proves to be true, the cooperation with Samsung may also extend to graphics cards.

 

Sources said, AMD “is likely to outsource a Chromebook CPU” to Samsung Foundry. AMD initially planned to collaborate with TSMC for the manufacturing of its Chromebook-grade CPU. But because TSMC has a limited capacity, AMD could partner with Samsung and use the Korean tech giant’s 4nm production line instead.

 

This Samsung-built 4nm AMD CPU for Chromebooks could enter mass production in late 2022. Furthermore, the market research firm believes that AMD could also partner with Samsung for the production of a 3nm-based GPU in 2023 or 2024.

 


AMD may be looking to expand its reach and utilize Samsung’s 4LPP process in the creation of new Chromebook processors. These new 4nm nodes are likely to end up in AMD’s entry-level APUs, which are optimized for long battery life at minimal power requirements.

 

TSMC will reportedly benefit from semiconductor contracts with Qualcomm in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Furthermore, the chipmaker could earn back some market share from NVIDIA, the latter of which may collaborate with TSMC for the manufacturing of high-end gaming GPUs from the RTX 40X0 lineup.
