After the release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, Qualcomm confirmed that the foundry of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip is currently only Samsung, and has not let TSMC carry out foundry.
However, there has since been news that the low yield rate of Samsung Electronics’ 4nm process technology has caused dissatisfaction with Qualcomm. Qualcomm may hand over some of the foundry orders of high-end Snapdragon processors to other manufacturers to diversify the orders.
