Thanks to the CTOnews.com netizen Mr. Air, OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com April 18 news, South Korean media Seoul economy quoted South Korean industry sources pointed out that the recent Samsung 4nm process yield has greatly improved, compared with TSMC 4nm yield estimate of about 80%, Samsung yield has increased from the previous estimate of 60% to more than 70%.

Revegnus, the whistleblower, even quoted the minutes of Apple's management team meeting as saying that Samsung's 4nm yield is expected to be close to that of TSMC.

In addition, Digitimes news also said that Samsung recently increased the production rate of 12-inch wafers from 80% to 90% due to the improvement of 4~5nm process. Samsung previously said in the 2022 career report that it had ensured a stable yield of the second and third generations of the 4nm process and was ready for mass production in the first half of 2023.

Samsung's 4nm process started with 4LPE, although it faced an uphill battle because of its low yield at that time, if the subsequent second and third generations (4LPP, 4LPP+) will comprehensively upgrade their efficiency, power consumption, and area, and the yield will be greatly improved, the field of contract manufacturing will usher in great changes.

Samsung's 4nm process is expected to be used to produce Tensor 3, the processor of Google's next-generation smartphone Pixel 8 series, and is expected to hit the market in the second half of 2023, when CTOnews.com partners will be able to see a new performance of Samsung 4nm.
