Weak Samsung Q3 Chip Sales Will Make It Lose Out To TSMC, Say Analysts 

Wccftech.com - 0
Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics' chip manufacturing division is likely to lose out to TSMC in terms of revenue after it releases its third quarter earnings, according to reports in the Korean press. This will mark a sharp contrast over the second quarter results, which saw a recovery in the global memory market and propelled Samsung's chip making division, called the Device Solutions division, to the top of the global foundry pyramid. Korean analysts believe that Samsung DS' third quarter revenue will fail to grow sequentially, and since TSMC's Q3 revenue jumped by 12.9% over the previous quarter, the firm […]

Samsung Faces Another Blow To Its Foundry Business As Various South Korean Players Have Placed Orders For TSMC’s More Mature Nodes
