Qualcomm Was Dependant On Samsung For 40 Percent Of Its Chipset Revenue In Q4 2023, Which May Be Bad News Going Forward
Samsung is regarded as a major smartphone chipset customer for Qualcomm, which is likely why the latter recently renewed a multi-year agreement with the Korean giant to use its Snapdragon silicon. However, it can become worrisome if one company depends on just one client to bring in 40 percent of the total revenue for a specific quarter, but according to the data shared for Q4 2023, Qualcomm appears to be too dependent on Samsung in this regard. We have witnessed on previous occasions that things can go from bad to worse if companies cannot diversify.

Samsung’s Cutting-Edge 2nm Process Could Just Be The Korean Giant’s Second-Generation 3nm Node With A Changed Name
Samsung has been reported on a few occasions to be struggling with its 3nm GAA yields, and while the logical move might have been to find ways to improve that percentage, the Korean foundry is making a monumental leap towards mass producing its 2nm node. However, according to one update, the company is not actually pursuing the production of 2nm wafers but has labeled its second-generation 3nm technology with the same name. Naturally, this can cause confusion for Samsung’s clients and mislead them into thinking that they are receiving wafers on a cutting-edge manufacturing process.
