NVIDIA to Adopt Samsung’s 2nm Technology for Consumer and AI GPUs, Sees Remarkable Yield Improvement

Samsung’s making noise in the chip world, huh? So, apparently, they’re going all out with this 2nm thing. Like, who saw that coming?

### A Challenger Appears: Samsung’s 2nm

Okay, picture this: TSMC’s been chilling at the top for a while, kind of like the big boss of chip-making. Everyone’s been buying from them, from phones to who knows what else. But now — boom! — Samsung’s stepping in with its own 2nm process. I read somewhere (can’t remember where, don’t quote me) that big names like NVIDIA and Qualcomm are checking out Samsung’s goods. So, could this be a game-changer? Maybe.

Why does this matter? Well, think about it. TSMC’s got a full house. Companies like Apple, NVIDIA, Qualcomm — yeah, all the cool kids — they’re basically stuck with one choice, which in tech terms, screams risk. Samsung might just be the answer, letting these guys breathe a little easier with an extra option.

Remember Samsung’s 3nm situation? It wasn’t super great. Their yields weren’t up to snuff. But this time? Rumor has it that Samsung’s 2nm yields are at 40% — climbing up, apparently. I guess practice makes perfect or something like that.

Let’s talk yield rates. TSMC’s at 60%, and Samsung’s closing in. It’s like a marathon where they’re neck and neck, or like how the tires on my old bike used to sound — you know, that grating squeak when you’re almost there.

And get this: Samsung’s thinking about building these bad boys in the US too, at their Taylor plant. That’s a whole new twist. I wonder if it’ll shake things up even more for Samsung in the global game.

But anyway, can’t say I know what’ll happen next. It’s chips, not magic. But watching this unfold? Oddly fascinating, right?
