Only 15% of TSMC's 3nm capacity was carved up, and it is reported that Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 has returned to the joint production mode of TSMC and Samsung.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens, soft media new friends 1933769, South China Daniel Wu for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com August 18 news, about Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip revelations, there have been several versions in the past few months, and the latest news that Qualcomm has carved up 15% of TSMC's 3nm capacity and will return to the joint production mode of TSMC and Samsung.

It is reported that Qualcomm will release the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip processor in October this year, which, like MediaTek's Tianji 9300, will use TSMC's N4P process node.

Image source: industrial and Commercial Times Qualcomm has begun to prepare the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip to be released next year, which will adopt N3E process node. However, since TSMC's 3nm process capacity is largely exclusively owned by Apple, there is a small amount of capacity to be allocated to MediaTek, leaving only 15 per cent of the 3nm capacity reserved for Qualcomm.

In the face of this situation, due to the improvement of Samsung's 3nm process, Qualcomm will return to the joint production mode of TSMC and Samsung.

CTOnews.com note: however, there are different voices, and there are also reports that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is made entirely by Samsung.

Source @ tech_reve said that Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 series chips, including the regular version and the for Galaxy version / leading version, are completely manufactured by TSMC.
