Anyways, I have no problems with chips being made by Samsung - as long as the value proposition is right.

Idk why some are thinking about heating. Samsung literally invented a cooling method. Qualcomm must be aiming for that. They may still go to TSMC but also take those cooling system from Samsung along with it.

Must be the vanilla elite gen 6. The gen 6 pro will be tsmc. Just my hunch if this pans out.

Yeah, not ordering for a Qualcomm chip made by Samsung. I remember 888 and 770G like it was yesterday.

This is a bigger deal than you all think. It means that every Chinese brand that orders this chip will subsequently help Samsung undercut them with the Galaxy S27 price-wise.
Mediatek, BOE & Omnivision products are probably going to get more popular because of this shift alone.
Now I’m waiting for Samsung to start manufacturing, selling Si-C batteries to outcompete the usual Chinese supply chains these companies tend to rely on.

RushGamer, 22 Apr 2026I'd say yes for SD8Gen3, even though its under TSMC, the implementation of 1x 3.3Ghz X4+ ... moreIt can run at high clock speeds for a few minutes and overheats. It's just marketing to fool uninformed people.

Great this proves fab production outside of Taiwan can be viable and might shift the other big booze like Amd over. Hopefully for the sake of humanity and all things that isnt south of Mongolia
