Samsung, which has been on a rapid rise in the processor world in recent years, wants to expand its position in the market with its new products. Announcing that it will produce special processors for its smartphones, the company has been working on 3 nm chips for a long time.
Joe Biden at Samsung factory for 3nm processors
US President Joe Biden is making his first official visit to the country since Yoon Seok-youl became President of South Korea. During this visit, Biden will also organize a tour of the semiconductor chip factory in Pyeongtaek, the world’s largest semiconductor factory owned by Samsung.
The visit to the Pyeongtaek factory will be the scene of an important exhibition. The 3nm GAA (Gate All Around) chips that the company has been working on for a long time will be exhibited during the visit, which will also be attended by Samsung Electronics Vice President Lee Jae-yong.
Samsung is considering starting the production of 3nm GAA chips in the next few months. On the other hand, for the first time in the history of chip production, a company will have used GAA. On the other hand, based on the balance of efficiency and power, Samsung, which has been behind TSMC for several years, wants to take the offensive.
Although 3nm GAA sees a 35 percent reduction in size compared to 5nm chips, it is stated that it will offer 30 percent higher performance. In addition, low power consumption of up to 50 percent is expected. On the other hand, Samsung stated that they have also started initiatives for 2nm chips. This chipset is expected to start production around 2025.
