If Samsung is willing to make a profit, it is not impossible for Apple to allocate part of the 5nm order process to them in order to maximize the benefits. Moreover, TSMC's 5nm production capacity is still relatively tight.

Samsung is the world's second largest chip foundry company after TSMC. They can basically keep up with TSMC in terms of process technology, but the launch time is a little later than TSMC, and their orders are obviously not as good as TSMC.

According to sources in the industry chain, Samsung has lowered its 5nm process OEM offer to attract OEM orders from Qualcomm’s newly released Snapdragon 888 series.

According to a source, Samsung is also negotiating with Apple in the same way. Of course, it is also a profit to attract Apple to obtain M1 processor orders. After all, Samsung offers a large discount on the foundry price to ensure that it can obtain Qualcomm's foundry. Orders, and Apple will do the same.

It has been reported before that the current capacity of TSMC’s 5nm process is difficult to meet the demand for large-scale foundry of M1 chips with a large number of A14 processors for Apple. Samsung is expected to obtain some foundry orders for Apple’s M1 chips. .

According to the report, most of the current capacity of TSMC’s 5nm process is used to OEM Apple’s A14 bionic processor and M1 chip orders, which are expected to account for 25% of the 5nm process capacity.
