convincing Nvidia and Qualcomm of the superiority of their 2 nm

Samsung is retaking the course little by little. Jay Y. Lee, the president of this company, sent in the middle of last March An internal statement in which it synthesizes very precisely What this company faces: “Our technological advantage has been compromised in all our businesses. It is difficult status quo instead of generating disruptive changes. “

The Samsung subsidiary specialized in the manufacture of semiconductors is largely the company’s engine, and to recover health it is essential that its competitiveness increases. However, to carry it out it is necessary that its integration technology of 2 nm pelee from you to you both with the equivalent lithography of Intel, and, above all, with that of TSMC. However, Samsung’s starting point is favorable. And it is because He has been working in which it is undoubtedly The most important photolithography in its history.

Samsung is already testing its 2 Nm node for Nvidia and Qualcomm

At the beginning of January 2025, several very reliable Asian media collected that Samsung had already started the evidence of 2 Nm semiconductor production with the purpose of consolidating the first agreements with several clients. The Japanese chips designer for artificial intelligence (AI) Preferred Networks (PFN) and a South Korean company specialized in the design of neuronal processing units (NPU) were already interested at that time when Samsung manufactured their designs in their new 2 Nm node.

There is no doubt that at the delicate moment this company is going through, having several agreements tied before its competitors initiate large -scale production with equivalent photolithographs is very important. However, this is not all. And is that just five months after that news the South Korean medium Chosunbizwhich in the matter of semiconductors does not usually give stitch without thread, ensures that Samsung has already started the tests in its 2 Nm node For Nvidia and Qualcomm.

This test process does not guarantee that Samsung is finally going to manufacture integrated 2 Nm circuits for these two US companies, but their interest in the technology of this South Korean company is an oxygen ball. There is no doubt about that. In any case, if Samsung finally reaches an agreement to manufacture the GPUs for Games and the Nvidia and the Qualcomm, TSMC, TSMC does not have to stay in the stake.

It is perfectly assumed that both Samsung and TSMC manufacture 2 Nm chips for these two US companies. On the other hand, and this is also very important, Samsung has expressed his intention to produce 2 nm semiconductors in its Texas factory (USA), which can help you so close agreements with US chip designers and dodge US tariffs.
