According to market rumors, Qualcomm Inc.’s fourth-generation Snapdragon 8 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 4) processor may entrust TSMC and Samsung Electronics Co. to manufacture at the same time.
Well-known whistleblower Revegnus via Twitter on the 18thpointed outthe Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor will use TSMC’s 3-nanometer (NE3) process, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that supplies Samsung’s Galaxy series smartphones will use Samsung Foundry’s 3GAP process.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy: Samsung Foundry 3GAP— Revegnus (@Tech_Reve) May 18, 2023
Sammobile reported on the 18th that if the above rumors are true, it means that the performance of Samsung Foundry’s 3nm process may finally keep up with TSMC’s 3nm. However, this news still needs to be viewed with caution, because the Galaxy S25 will not be launched for two years, and I am afraid that the situation will not become clearer until the end of 2024.
The report pointed out that this is the first time in a long time that a company has decided to entrust two foundries to produce the same chip, similar to what Apple did when it launched the iPhone 6s. At that time, some A9 processors of the iPhone 6s used Samsung’s 14nm process, while others used TSMC’s 16nm process; Samsung’s processor was smaller, and TSMC’s power-saving efficiency was slightly higher.
