Google's Chip Switch Shocks Samsung Foundry | JQJO

Google's decision to switch from Samsung to TSMC for producing its Tensor G5 chip for the Pixel 10 series has reportedly shocked Samsung. This move, described as a 'wake-up call', highlights Samsung Foundry's struggles with yield, particularly its 3nm process, and a perceived lack of design assets compared to TSMC. The shift underscores Samsung's challenges in competing with TSMC, who boasts a significantly higher yield rate. While Google opts for TSMC for the main chip, it's expected to retain Samsung for the Pixel 10's modem.
