Samsung Begins Production of Advance 3Nm Technology

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said on Thursday it has begun mass producing chips with advanced 3nanometre (Nm) technology, The new chips will be smaller, more powerful and efficient. 

Samsung said that Compared with conventional 5-nanometre chips, the newly developed first-gen 3-nanometre process can reduce power consumption by up to 45%, improve performance by 23%, and reduce the area by 16%.

The vast majority of the world's most advanced microchips are made by just two companies - Samsung and Taiwan's TSMC.

Samsung has been competing with Apple chipmaking partner TSMC. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) is the world's most advanced foundry chipmaker and controls about 54% of the global market for contract production of chips, used by firms such as Apple and Qualcomm which don't have their own semiconductor facilities. On the other hand, Samsung was the best-selling smartphone brand with a market share of 24% - April 22.

Samsung will produce 3nm chips at its Hwaseong facilities and is expected to extend that production to its newest Pyeongtaek fab.
