Samsung mass-produces 3nm chips From 2022, TSMC, Samsung and Intel (Intel) will represent the top three in Taiwan, the United States and South Korea, leading in technology in the foundry field. According to the statistics of Trendforce, a semiconductor research institute , in the first quarter of 2022, TSMC accounted for 53.6% of the global foundry field, while Samsung, which ranked second, accounted for 16.3%. Liu Peizhen analyzed that now Samsung hopes to use the new Gate-All-Around (GAA) to surpass TSMC in the 3nm wafer process.

One of the main reasons is that TSMC has exclusively obtained it for seven consecutive years from 2016 to 2022. Samsung hopes to recapture Apple's orders from big customer Apple's (Apple) contract for applications processors. Du Qin, a Chinese semiconductor analyst, explained on the WeChat public account "Semiconductor Industry Watch" that from the financial report, Apple is TSMC's largest customer, and the two cooperate closely in semiconductors. The business model of "Apple design, TSMC foundry" has always been a cooperation model between the two companies. He said that at present, the semiconductor industry has judged that
