Samsung Foundry’s efforts to secure major customers have been closely watched, with the possibility of future cooperation with Qualcomm remaining open. According to Chosun Biz, Chris Patrick, Qualcomm senior vice president and general manager of mobile handsets, said the company is likely to work with suppliers that offer strong technology, while emphasizing its partnerships with both Samsung Foundry and TSMC. His comments do not confirm that Qualcomm will adopt Samsung’s 2nm process, but the company has not ruled out Samsung as a foundry partner for future products.
For now, however, Patrick confirmed that all 2nm products Qualcomm has announced will be manufactured by TSMC, as the report points out.
