Thank CTOnews.com netizens soft media Xinyou 1933769 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 1, Taiwan Media Science and Technology News released a report today that Qualcomm's next-generation flagship 3nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor is still manufactured only by TSMC, rather than the previously rumored TSMC and Samsung dual-contract manufacturing model.

According to the latest industry information, Qualcomm has officially cancelled its plans to use Samsung's processors next year because of Samsung's conservative expansion plans for next year's 3nm capacity and unsatisfactory yield, the report said. The double-contract manufacturing model has been postponed to 2025.

At the end of June last year, Samsung began mass production of the first generation of 3nm GAA (SF3E) process, marking the first time Samsung has applied its innovative GAA architecture to transistor technology. The second-generation 3nm process 3GAP (SF3) will use the second-generation MBCFET architecture to optimize on the basis of the first-generation 3nm SF3E and is expected to start mass production in 2024.

According to CTOnews.com 's previous report, according to the information leaked by Qualcomm in September this year, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be based on TSMC N3E process, and a future generation will consider using Samsung SF2P process, which is consistent with the latest report.

Blogger @ Revegnus made a similar statement in August, saying that double contract manufacturing may start with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, while all Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chips are produced by TSMC's N3E process.
