TSMC's 3nm production capacity is in short supply: Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will increase in price-EEWORLD

Collect

On June 14, according to media reports, Samsung's mass-produced 3nm GAA process was not particularly successful, and the first 3nm process node SF3E was not widely used. Technology giants turned to TSMC, resulting in TSMC's 3nm production capacity being in short supply.

It is reported that NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Apple, Google and other companies will gradually adopt TSMC's 3nm process. Among them, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will be manufactured using TSMC's N3E (TSMC's second-generation 3nm) node. Compared with the previous generation, the latest process price has increased by 25%, which means that the price of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will increase.

According to supply chain sources, the purchase price of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 released last year was around US$200, and the purchase price of this year's Snapdragon 8 Gen4 flagship platform may exceed US$250.

However, industry insiders said that this increase is within a reasonable range, because compared with the 5nm process, the cost price of each wafer of the 3nm process has increased by about 25%, which does not include the overall wafer quantity, architectural design and other aspects.

According to the announcement released by Qualcomm, Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will be launched in October this year. Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, iQOO, OnePlus, Honor, Redmi, Realme and others will all be the first batch of commercial Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chips.
