AMD looking to spread chip production to Samsung

AMD looking to spread chip production to Samsung

GPUs and CPUs are fairly hard to get due to shortages. The biggest foundry is of course TSMC, who increased wafer prices last month as they do have a bit of a monopolized position at the smaller fabrication nodes. 

As a result AMD now might add Samsung to their list of chip manufacturers. Forum user Clién from South Korea, Clién makes this claim, and to add on that, he has names a few other things in the past as well and was right most of the time. AMD would like to increase production capacity by 50% or more, however, securing production capacity at TSMC remains challenging. That is why, according to the forum member, AMD is considering having part of the APIs and GPUs also baked by Samsung. If we understand the Korean message correctly, it concerns the production of the chips at both TSMC and Samsung.

One of the concerns is that TSMC has to meet the enormous demand from Apple. Apple is said to have secured full 5nm production capacity last summer, and TSMC's 3nm node is also said to be predominantly intended for Apple.

There is enough info by now to know that the rx 6000 series are not really good for mining, as AMD said, they made them especially for gaming and to not be very good for mining... contrary to nvidia's GPUs, this time around.

A 3070 has the same mining efficiency as an rx 6800 xt, just google it.

It's hard for the others to compete with Apple. Apple has the most loyal customers on Earth, so Apple can easily pay more for chip production capacity and simply dump the costs directly on its own product prices. The customers will pay without asking any questions.

How about restoring own production and getting back to semiconductor business?
