According to a report, TSMC is expected to manufacture the majority of Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets due to the high yield rate of its 3nm process. These chipsets are rumored to be used in the majority of flagship devices in 2024 and are expected to be sourced from both Samsung and TSMC in order to reduce manufacturing costs.
A recent report suggests that TSMC's 3nm process node has a yield rate of around 60-70%, and even as high as 80% in some cases. This high yield rate could lead to TSMC being responsible for the majority of production for Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets. Samsung, which previously had a yield rate of about 20% before partnering with Silicon Frontline Technology, is expected to have a yield rate of only 10%.
These production difficulties and added costs may result in Qualcomm charging its smartphone partners more for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, potentially leading to higher prices for smartphones using the new chipsets.
