Samsung Foundry has begun trial production of chips on its 2nd Generation 3nm-class process technology known as SF3, reports Chosun, citing unnamed industry sources. The company reportedly aims to achieve a yield of over 60% within the next six months. The information should be taken with a pinch of salt since it comes from an unofficial source. Meanwhile, the SF3 production start is a big deal for Samsung and the industry.
Samsung is reportedly testing the performance and reliability of chips made on its SF3 node. Meanwhile, the first product that Samsung reportedly plans to use its SF3 for is its application processor for wearables, which will be used for the company's upcoming Galaxy Watch 7. Also, the company is expected to use the production node for its Exynos 2500 system-on-chip for Galaxy S25-series smartphones due next year.
