According to industry insiders, new problems have emerged in the 5nm process of Samsung's chip factory, and the new product will be released soon.Qualcomm IncIt has been decided to forward the order for the relevant models of processors toTaiwan Semiconductor ManufacturingOEM.

It is understood that Qualcomm Inc made a preliminary communication with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd in July, hoping that he could contract Snapdragon 875G processor and x60 baseband, mainly due to the re-emergence of 5nm problems in Samsung factories. According to the previous news, Qualcomm Inc's plan is for Samsung to produce the early order of Snapdragon 875G, followed by a small part of it will be handed over to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd.

In fact, this is not the first time, but Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd's 5nm capacity has been fully occupied.AppleBoth the A14 and Huawei's Kirin series keep the industry giant busy. Previously, foreign media have reported that Samsung's latest 5nm EUV process has once again encountered trouble, and the rate of good products is not up to standard, which will certainly affect the production of Qualcomm Inc Snapdragon 875G and 735G.

It is understood that Qualcomm Inc plans to start commercial Snapdragon 662 and Snapdragon 460 in the fourth quarter of 2020, and commercial Snapdragon 875G, Snapdragon 435G and Snapdragon 735G in the first quarter of 2020.

As Qualcomm Inc's latest flagship, Snapdragon 875G will be released at the end of this year. It will introduce the combination of Cortex-X1 super core and Cortex-A78 core for the first time. The newly designed X1 core is 30% and 23% higher in energy efficiency than A77 and A78 respectively, and its machine learning ability is also twice as high as A78. It is expected to integrate 5G baseband into Qualcomm Inc's flagship platform for the first time, saying goodbye to plug-ins completely.
