Samsung’s 2nm Technology Adopted by NVIDIA for Consumer and AI GPUs, Showing Remarkable Yield Progress

So, I was reading about Samsung and their whole chip thing—I mean, it’s kind of wild, right? Like, there’s this big hustle to get to 2nm. Why 2nm? No clue, but it sounds cool. And, get this, Samsung’s not just sitting around. Nope, they’re eyeing that top spot, maybe even giving TSMC a run for their money. Or, well, trying to.

Here’s the scoop: Samsung’s all in on their 2nm process, which I guess could seriously shake up things. They’re not just twiddling their thumbs; they’re almost ready to get these chips into tech behemoths like NVIDIA and Qualcomm. Seriously, imagine those massive companies relying on Samsung instead of just TSMC. Dual-sourcing is the new vibe. Kind of like having a Plan B, but, you know, for chips.

And oh, remember their 3nm woes? Apparently, that was a bit of a hiccup with yields not quite cutting it for mass production. But 2nm seems to be a different ball game. The yield rates are sitting at 40%—not spectacular, but improving. I mean, it’s almost like watching a kid learn to ride a bike. Slight wobbles, but hey, progress is progress!

Also, fun fact (if you can call it that), Samsung’s thinking big. Like Texas big. They’ve got this facility in Taylor, US, prepped for 2nm production. Kind of adds a new twist to their strategy, right? Local production, global ambition kind of deal.

Whether this all pans out is anyone’s guess. But if their rumored improvements hold water, we might just witness Samsung pulling off something major. Imagine, them with their own little empire of tiny chips. Just a thought.
