4nm Battle: AMD is negotiating to transfer some orders to Samsung, and Google Tensor G4 will switch to TSMC.

CTOnews.com November 14 news, gamma0burst dig deep exposure information shows that AMD's upcoming "Prometheus" CPU, using Zen 5c core, will be mass-produced by Samsung 4nm and TSMC 3nm process at the same time.

It is reported that the considerations of users such as AMD have expanded from process nodes, production yield, cost and other factors to production capacity, ecological chain and other aspects.

It is reported that Samsung is actively expanding its 4nm process, hoping to attract more orders from TSMC. With regard to the current information about the yield, industry insiders believe that the yield of TSMC's 4nm process is 80%, while Samsung has increased to 75% from 50% at the beginning of this year, comparable to TSMC.

It is speculated that Qualcomm, Nvidia and other big customers may return to use Samsung technology, thinking that Samsung can receive about half of the orders of TSMC.

According to Apple's senior meeting, the good rate of TSMC 3nm is 63%, but the price of 3nm process is twice as high as 4nm.

So with Samsung significantly improving its yield and production capacity this year, and TSMC's decision to raise prices this year, many big customers may consider costs, find second suppliers and decentralize outsourced production orders.

On the customer side, the latest news is that AMD has discussed with Samsung and plans to transfer some of TSMC's 4nm orders to Samsung.

In addition to moving some of AMD's orders to Samsung, there are reports that Google plans to hand over Tensor G4 orders to TSMC's 4nm process, while Tensor G5 uses TSMC's 3nm process.
