Despite ruling the memory chips market, Samsung has fallen behind in foundry services. According to Pak Yuak, an analyst for Kiwoom Securities, Samsung’s foundry division lost more than $3.63 billion in the first half of this year.
The question now is whether Samsung and Tesla’s Chip Deal involves the company’s advanced chip manufacturing at 2 nm. According to analysts like Lee Min-hee from BNK Investment & Securities, ‘Samsung is still working on improving the production quality of these chips.’
While Tesla semiconductor supply details and precise requirements for its chips are unknown, the deal may give Samsung the impetus to expand manufacturing. The agreement comes amid South Korea’s strategic push to strengthen industrial ties with the United States, especially and shipbuilding.
