AMD Reportedly Shifts from Samsung to TSMC's 4nm Arizona Facility

AMD has reportedly decided to move its 4 nm chip orders from Samsung to TSMC's facilities in Arizona, United States. This is a significant loss for Samsung, as AMD had been working closely with Samsung on the SF4X process for EPYC server processors, Ryzen APUs, and Radeon graphics cards. It's worth noting that in May 2023, AMD announced the exact opposite—moving from TSMC to Samsung for some of its 4 nm CPUs. This partnership was an important pa…

In the middle of February the news broke about something that seemed impossible and curiously ended up being true: AMD would manufacture its Zen 6 IOD with Samsung in the SF4X, a mature and mass production lithographic process. Shortly after Trump arrived and dynamite the world economy based on tariffs, which has brought him, for now, a series of investments estimated at over $5 trillion in total. Well, with TSMC’s investment in the country and …

AMD reportedly walks away from Samsung's SF4X deal, escalating foundry pressure on latter

Samsung Electronics is under intensifying pressure in its foundry business following reports that AMD has abandoned plans to adopt its advanced 4nm process, SF4X. The decision marks another setback for Samsung, already grappling with low 3nm yields and weakening demand for older process nodes.

The chapter “Samsung Foundry as a beacon of hope for AMD” seems to have closed faster than expected. According to recent leaks, the 4nm process (SF4X), which was traded as a glimmer of technological hope for Koreans in the high-performance segment, is apparently being abandoned by AMD — in favor of TSMC. And not in Hsinchu, but right on your own doorstep: in Arizona. [...] spring

Samsung Foundry's troubles continue, as it is now reported that AMD has abandoned its 4nm orders with the firm, likely switching towards TSMC. AMD Appears To Be Massively Inclined Towards TSMC's US Operations, Which Played a Role In Canceling the Deal With Samsung Foundry Samsung has found it challenging to see adoption from the industry when it comes to process nodes, and despite offering a wide range of products with decent production capaciti…
