The foundry arm of Samsung Electronics' Semiconductor Solutions (DS) Business Division is currently engaged in talks with AMD. The plan is to leverage its second - generation 2nm process technology (SF2P) to produce semiconductor products crafted by AMD. To achieve this goal, Samsung is set to swiftly move forward with creating prototypes of AMD's chips using Multi - Project Wafer (MPW) technology. When compared to the first - generation 2nm process, Samsung's SF2P process brings about significant enhancements. It delivers a 12% boost in performance, cuts power consumption by 25%, and reduces the core area by 8%. Mass production of chips using this process is anticipated to commence in 2026. If the negotiation process goes smoothly, both companies are projected to sign a cooperation contract as early as January 2026. This partnership has the potential to bring Samsung billions of dollars in extra orders.
