Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said on Thursday it has begun mass producing chips with advanced 3-nanometer technology, the first to do so globally, as it seeks new clients to catch far bigger rival TSMC in contract chip manufacturing.
Compared with conventional 5-nanometer chips, the newly developed first-gen 3-nanometer process can reduce power consumption by up to 45%, improve performance by 23%, and reduce area by 16%, Samsung said in a statement.
