Many in the South Korean industry believe that with TSMC, the leading semiconductor foundry, facing increasing risks from earthquakes in Taiwan and unstable cross-strait relations, Samsung hopes to seize new opportunities by establishing a 3nm supply chain for Nvidia. In this context, it is reported that Samsung Electronics’ primary task in 2024 in its semiconductor foundry business will be securing orders for Nvidia’s advanced chips.

The advent of the AI smartphone era has marked a new chapter in the competition for Application Processors (AP) that determine smartphone performance, with the 3nm mobile AP war already underway.

For the past 36 years, TechInsights (formerly VSLI) has formally evaluated semiconductor equipment companies based on customer feedback to recognize the best in the industry.
