Google has used Samsung to manufacture its Tensor smartphone chips since 2021, but the Pixel 10 series is widely tipped to be made by rival manufacturer TSMC. Now, Samsung is reportedly taking a closer look at this switch as part of a wider investigation into its flagging foundry business.
Korean outlet The Bell (h/t: Jukanlosreve) reports that Samsung is “intensively analyzing” Google’s switch from Samsung Foundry to TSMC for its future Tensor smartphone processors. The outlet added that this switch caused a “shock” inside and outside Samsung last month.
