This is an interesting time for Google Pixel fans. Google allegedly introduce the Pixel 10 series on August 20 and will be more than the next repetition of the Android reference device. Pixel 10 The Tancer G5 will be powered by the application processor (APP), which is making some major changes, unlike past tensor chips that strengthen previous pixel lines, this year’s G5 will be designed by the ground -up ground by Google.
The previous tensor chips mixed some of Google’s designs with one of the Samsung’s Ecunos Processor, which is used as the basis of the ingredient. The chips were built by the Samsung Foundry, the second largest foundry of the planet. This year, Google -designed AP will be built by the world’s largest foundry, TSMC, using the 3NM process node (N3E) of its second -generation.
According to the Korean Financial Blog BellSamsung is investigating why he lost the business of manufacturing Pixel Tenser APS in TSMC. Yesterday, a global meeting of the global strategy was held through the Samsung Electronic Device Division Division. Since the process nodes have been reduced under 5nm, the competitive difference between the Samsung Foundry and the TSMC has expanded. One of the biggest problems is that the low production of the Samsung Foundry results in high prices in chip prices and raising questions as to whether large -scale orders can be met.

According to the Trend Force, the Samsung Foundry’s global market share is still decreasing as it has reduced 7.7 % during the first quarter of this year, while it is 8.1 % during Q4. During the same constituencies, the market share of TSMC increased from 67.1 % to 67.6 %.
Qualcomm re -designed the chip, calling it Snapdragon 8+ General 1 and made it by TSMC. Despite the rumors now and then, saying that Qualcomm will return to the Samsung Foundry, TSMC has continued to produce important flagship AP for the Fabilis chip designer based in San Diego.
The Samsung Foundry Semi is engaged in working on the development of Acneos 2600 AP, which is allocated for the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ The flagship model in some markets next year. Made on the 2NM process node of the Samsung Foundry, the SOC is now undergoing mass production. This is a huge test for the Samsung Foundry, because with the number of decent output and good performance for the chip, the Samsung Foundry business can be in a position to remove the business from TSMC.
If it fails this test, the top brass in Samsung may be forced to consider rotating or selling the Samsung Foundry.
