Reliable tipster Ice Universe shoots down a rumor related to the Galaxy S23 line
Qualcomm supposedly would like to source the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 from both TSMC and Samsung in order to keep both foundries from charging outlandish prices for wafers. But this works only under one condition: Samsung's yield has to be on par with TSMC's. Otherwise, Qualcomm will be forced to deal with TSMC only and that will certainly mean higher wafer prices for the fabless chip designer.
As of September, TSMC had a leading 53.4% share of the global foundry market with Samsung next at 16.4%.Reserve а Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for up to $100 off!
