In recent years we have seen how many companies have tried to create the most technologically developed process on the market, and until now, as we well know, TSMC holds undisputed leadership in this area thanks to its 3nm processes . But this time things could change, and since Samsung They assured that they will be able to start manufacturing fleas with superior process, 1nmin just two years, which would imply that they would have superior technology to TSMC.
Samsung, TSMC and Intel are some of the companies that have embarked on the development of the most avant-garde processes on the market, and although at the moment the leadership goes to TSMC thanks to the success of having developed the first process 3nm worldwide, Samsung and Intel are planning to try to take their position. While the Taiwanese company announced its plan including the 1nm process for 2030, Intel indicated that it would arrive two years earlier, and now again, Samsung has announced that it will begin production in 2026.
Samsung wants to be at the forefront of technology
Most of the technologies we can find on the market today are extremely popular, we have seen big companies like AMD, Apple and Intel practically fighting to get their processors to integrate TSMC’s 3nm node. Now things could change a lot, because as we well know, since Intel decided to separate the company that represents the processor manufacturer from Intel Foundry itself, thus creating a competitor with a large amount of resources for TSMC, although the American company’s technologies are not exactly of the latest generation.
In these cases, we know that Intel is far behind, but they still indicated that they would be able to manufacture a 1nm process two years ahead of what TSMC had planned, acknowledging that they would be the first to develop it after launching it in 2028., this company’s plans could be thwarted by one of the South Korean giants, and that is Samsung
This would mean that Samsung could end up overtaking TSMC in terms of advanced technology related to the processes used to create chip wafers, generating a lot of revenue for the Korean company.
The 1nm process, the most sought-after advancement by large companies
As is well known, being able to manufacture a process as small as possible implies that the capacity of processors and in general of all chips would increase considerably, this is one of the reasons that led TSMC to dominate the industry , making them the main companies coming to stick together for their products. Reaching this stage is not easy, it requires a lot of development time and an extremely large investment, but it is not impossible, but Samsung has the necessary capacity to have been able to finance the creation of process of 1nm.
We still don’t know the details of how the Korean company achieved this, because at first it seemed like they might lag behind TSMC and even Intel, but with this move they could dominate the market, so we’ll have to keep an eye on next month’s announcement to find out how they achieved this level of progress.
