Samsung eyed up for huge 8nm chip order from Intel — the Z990 chipset for Nova Lake CPUs could be Intel's 8nm debut

Intel Corporation - Habana AI.

According to a report from the Korean outlet Hankyung, Samsung Foundry, the manufacturing division of Samsung Electronics, has reportedly secured a notable client: none other than Intel. The foundry has ostensibly obtained 8nm orders to manufacture Intel's forthcoming Platform Controller Hub (PCH).

The report states that Samsung and Intel are in the final stages of mass production of Intel's chipsets. Consequently, it is plausible that the forthcoming 900-series chipsets for the LGA1954 socket, which will accommodate the Core Ultra 400S (codename Nova Lake), will leverage Samsung's 8nm process technology. There exists a longstanding history of collaboration between Samsung and Intel, as the former has previously produced chipsets and other low-value chips for the latter.
