The foundry is now a better place than 2024, still has to compromise in some aspects of its business. The foundry has stopped work on its 1.4 NM chip sets, though it has also received some of the most important businesses from Tesla.

Last year, it was revealed that Samsung intended to develop 1.4 NM chip sets by 2027. It was a very expensive project, as the foundry was struggling with 3NM production at the time. However, Samsung managed to stabilize the process, and now he has made 3 NM Acneos 2500 officials. We will see this processor in the Galaxy Z Philip 7, which will be unveiled next month. Now, a report (Translated source) The company has stopped its 1.4 NM chips projects. Which was ever designed for 2027, it can no longer start by 2028. For now, the Samsung Foundry is focusing on completing his 2 NM process, which he wants to use for Xinos 2600.
2 nm chips are here to stay
Samsung wants to complete its 2 NM process because the report, according to the report, is currently 20-30 % of the production of 2 NMs. This is not possible, and even the Galaxy S26 may delay the Samsung projects to start 2600 in the Line. It is also noteworthy that Apple will use 3NM chips for the iPhone 17 series this year. Samsung’s biggest competitor in the smartphone space – at least in the United States – does not intend to use 2 NM processors up to the iPhone 18 series next year. That way, it is not like Samsung immediately. Will be behind if she soon fails to get her 2 NM production.
Samsung Manufacturing Tesla’s Doupe Chips

One of the reasons for the Samsung Foundry recently is the lack of clients. Many companies choose to choose founders such as TSMC (such as TSMC (Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company) However, Samsung has low costs, understanding, also an attractive option.
For this purpose, the Samsung Foundry has received orders from Tesla to prepare Dujo chips from Tesla using his 2 NM actions. This was first reported by Alec – a Korean news site – but the article has been terminated and “under consideration”. This will not be the first time that Samsung has asked to remove specific information.
A copy of the original news story can be read here, which is obtained by renowned tipster and semiconductor analyst Jonlosario. The report claims that Samsung will resume work at its plant in Texas’ Taylor, hoping that work will be done over time to meet Tesla’s orders. It is important that Samsung’s 2 nm production should have improved until the plant was online.
Samsung is fine, for now
Although I am convinced that fraud is essential to postpone the 1.4 NM chip preparation projects, it rarely endanger the future of Samsung. As mentioned earlier, Apple will not start using 2 NM chips by the end of next year. Samsung has a lot of time, and the jump from 2 NM to 1.4 Nm would hardly be revolutionary.
Modern chip measurements are marketing more than anything. If Samsung is able to complete its 2 NM production and provide acne chips that can keep itself against Snapdragon, the company will correct it.
And, as it was able to do its 3 NM process, I think Samsung should not take longer time to improve its 2 NM chip manufacturing production. When it has happened, I hope we will eventually have an apple silicon moment for acne.
