Explained: Samsung’s breakthrough in 3nm chips & how it translates to higher performance and better efficiency
Samsung has become the first SoC manufacturer to break into the 3nm chips, which promises huge performance and efficiency gains, going up to 50 per cent. While chip designers and manufacturers like Apple, Qualcomm and TSMC have aced the 4nm, 5nm & 6nm processors for some time now, Samsung has just made the world’s first 3-nanometer chips. Samsung said the process would be used for “high performance, low power computing” with mobile processors coming later, and that a second-generation 3nm process will reduce power consumption by 50% and improve performance by 30% on a 35% reduced area. Samsung and TSMC are currently competing for multi-year deals with Apple and Qualcomm, two mega tech firms awaiting mass production of 3nm chips that could improve the performance of existing products while enabling new technologies.
