Qualcomm will be sticking with TSMC for its 2024 SoCs

The newer N3E process from TSMC is scheduled to receive orders from new customers in 2024. Qualcomm is one of the new clients, and the chipmaker will almost certainly have the chipmaker construct its next-generation flagship Snapdragon processors. The company was also supposed to use Samsung for its Snapdragon Gen 4 SoCs, but this may no longer be the case.

Previously we have seen the reports that Qualcomm might outsource its future Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC to the world’s largest contract chipmaker (TSMC), while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC could be built by both TSMC and Samsung.

However, according to recent reports, the corporation will not be using Samsung’s Foundry next year. The original rumours even suggested an exclusive transfer to Samsung for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 since TSMC could only provide Qualcomm 15% of its new 3nm manufacturing.

Apple, the Taiwanese company’s primary client, is said to have secured the majority of the 3nm process for this year, but this could change in 2024. Qualcomm and MediaTek will share the N3E production line for their next-generation smartphone chips, according to a recent report. Furthermore, as a result of its recent acquisition of Nuvia, the former is thought to be the first to use the unique Oryon cores.

Qualcomm most likely chose Samsung because TSMC’s N3B wafers had poorer yields, resulting in higher costs for the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPUs. These price increases would have an influence on the margins of smartphone manufacturers and other partners, who would also have to raise prices in order to retain profitability.
