The fewer contract manufacturers of semiconductor products that have mastered advanced technical processes become, the more often Samsung is mentioned in profile news. We have to admit that many sources of the relevant rumors are still wishful thinking, and the role of the Korean partner in the production of graphics processors for AMD and NVIDIA, for example, is the least significant.
AMD representatives recently denied rumors about Samsung's involvement in the production of 7nm RDNA (Navi) GPUs for Radeon RX 5500 series video cards.
Recall that the rumor about the cooperation between AMD and Samsung in this area is not so long ago. resource Fudzilla, but representatives of the publication official comments were received only the day before yesterday, and the meaning of the information turned out to be exactly the opposite. AMD employees explained that at the moment Samsung is not involved in the release of 7-nm graphics processors of the Radeon RX 5500 series. Like the Radeon RX 5700 series GPUs or the Ryzen 3000 CPUs, Navi 14 GPUs are manufactured by TSMC.
From the comments of NVIDIA representatives that Samsung is still on the sidelines with this customer. For the release of 7-nm NVIDIA graphics processors, Samsung's capacities will be involved to a minimum, but it is the Korean partner who will help launch the production of 8-nm Orin generation Tegra processors, which will enter the market as part of robotic systems by 2022.
