Samsung and TSMC Keep Using 2nm Chip Manufacturing in South Korea

Samsung is famous as one of the companies that produce a lot of electronic products, not only that but they also release many of their own processors, Exynos is one of the processor series made by Samsung which in fact has high capabilities and is still suitable for use in the Flagship mobile phone class.


TSMC is also the same, this Taiwanese company has also benefited greatly thanks to the development of their processors. TSMC is also famous as a company that releases many 2nm processors and has marketed in many countries, some semiconductor technologies they develop.


TSMC reportedly has plans to make new chipsets in Arizona, which they will begin developing in 2024 and will reportedly develop 4nm chipsets and 3nm chipsets in 2026. Samsung itself has been building this processor in Texas since 2021, but until now it is still very slow to progress.


"TSMC has two chip plants under construction in Arizona, which are expected to start pumping out 4nm chips in 2024 and 3nm ones by 2026. Barring any further setbacks, of course. Samsung has been building its own $17 billion plant in Texas since 2021, but progress has been slow, and it is expected to handle only 4nm nodes. The US famously has the CHIPS and Science Act with $53 billion earmarked for subsidies. Apparently, payouts from said fund have been slow. Plus, both companies have been experiencing local talent shortages. Local unions have also stopped TSMC from importing specialists from Taiwan."


Their expansion will also be expanded in several other countries such as Europe and Japan and India. However, we cannot be sure, we think Samsung and TSMC are still very slow to develop semiconductors in some regions.
