The blogger’s original post has since been deleted. Previous reports had suggested Samsung was considering outsourcing the Exynos chips to TSMC. Samsung is facing low 20% yields on its second-generation 3nm GAA process, far below its 70% target, while TSMC’s 2nm process has reportedly achieved a 60% yield, according to sources referenced by Icsmart.
