Samsung’s 2nm Technology to Be Adopted by NVIDIA for Consumer and AI GPUs, Showing Remarkable Yield Improvements

Samsung is out there making waves, vying for a top spot in the chip game. And guess what? Their 2nm tech is what they’re betting on right now.

### Samsung: A Contender in 2nm — Maybe an Alternative to TSMC?

So, like, here’s the thing. The race for the newest, shiniest nodes isn’t exactly crowded at the moment. TSMC kinda had the floor, with everyone talking about their lead in 2nm tech—faster schedule, more customers, you name it. But hold on, Samsung’s throwing its hat in the ring, with media from Korea saying big names like NVIDIA and Qualcomm are checking out their 2nm tech, like, seriously giving it a look-see.

Honestly, TSMC can’t do it alone anymore. They’ve been swamped, leaving companies like Apple, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm to think, “Hey, maybe it’s time to shop at another store.” Enter Samsung, as they might become the new BFF for these guys. Yeah, Samsung had a bit of a rollercoaster with earlier nodes like 3nm GAA—yields weren’t great, and honestly, it was a bit of a bust. But now with 2nm? Things might just be turning around.

(Oh, by the way, the image of Samsung’s semiconductor? I remember staring at it, lost in thought about tech and stuff. Why? No clue. Just did.)

Samsung’s yield for 2nm sits at around 40% now. They’re working at it, trying to get better, and apparently, they’re handling the GAA tech with a bit more finesse, if you can believe that. Meanwhile, TSMC isn’t sleeping either; their yield’s around 60%. So, it’s a close call. Who knows what’ll happen, right?

Oh, and Samsung’s planning to kick off some 2nm production in the US too, at the Taylor facility. How very international of them. This could change the game entirely, and I’m kinda curious to see where they go from here. They seem pretty pumped and ready, don’t they?

Anyway, just my two cents. Or maybe more like a dollar fifty.
