The ceremony took place at the Hwaseong Campus, in Gyeonggi-do, with the event attended by various Samsung executives and politicians. Though Samsung has plans to mass produce 3nm GAA chips for smartphone vendors, the first batch is not tailored for Qualcomm and others. Instead, the initial supply will be for cryptocurrency miners, with the new 3nm GAA introducing a new efficiency threshold, reducing power consumption massively. We expect Samsung to use its 3nm GAA technology to mass produce the upcoming Exynos 2300. Aside from this, there is a possibility this technology is used to mass produce the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy S23 range, but under the right set of conditions. Aside from that, Qualcomm could potentially jump on board, but only if TSMC experiences yield problems with its own 3nm technology. Samsung is said to have prepared samples for the San Diego chipset maker in the event that Qualcomm places an order with the Korean manufacturer. As for Samsung’s biggest competitor in the semiconductor space, TSMC will reportedly commence start mass production of its own 3nm process later this year. Apple is expected to receive the first supply of its M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets for the updated MacBook Pro family and other products. To recap, Samsung’s 3nm GAA process is said to reduce power consumption by up to 45 percent, improve performance by 23 percent and reduce area by 16 percent when compared to 5nm technology. The manufacturer will also introduce a second-generation variant that will reduce power consumption by up to 50 percent, increase performance by 30 percent and reduce area by 35 percent.
