Thank CTOnews.com netizens soft media Xinyou 1933769 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 4, according to Hankyung, Samsung Semiconductor held a speech at KAIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology) earlier today. Kye Hyun Kyung, president of Samsung device Solutions Division, put forward the vision that Samsung Semiconductor will catch up with its competitor TSMC in the future.

However, Kye Hyun Kyung also said, but wait until 2nm will change, and boldly predict: "We can overtake TSMC in five years."

The idea that Samsung could outperform TSMC in the next five years stems from Samsung's intention to use Gate All Around (GAA) technology from the 3nm manufacturing process. By contrast, TSMC will not use GAA until it reaches 2m production.

GAA is a production process that allows Samsung to produce chips that are smaller (45 per cent) and consume less energy (50 per cent) than those currently used by TSMC. "customers have responded well to Samsung Electronics's 3nm GAA process," Kye Hyun Kyung said.

Kye Hyun Kyung also said Samsung expected storage semiconductors to become more important in developing AI servers, surpassing Nvidia GPU, adding that Samsung would "ensure that memory semiconductor-centric supercomputers are available in 2028".

As previously reported by CTOnews.com, Samsung recently said that the yield of its 4nm chip process has improved, close to the level of 5nm, and the next generation 4nm process will provide a higher yield.

According to industry sources, the US chip giant AMD has chosen Samsung Electronics as its 4nm processor partner. In addition, Google will also commission Samsung Electronics to produce Tensor 3 chips for its Pixel 8 smartphones, using Samsung Electronics third-generation 4nm process nodes.
