When it comes to advanced semiconductor technology, there's one name that sits above all: TSMC. But there are others seeking to challenge the Taiwanese behemoth. Intel is spending billions in order to claim a larger slice of the chip making pie. GlobalFoundries and UMC are often cited as competitors too. Then there's Samsung, a name everyone knows.
Though it hasn't been able to compete with TSMC at the bleeding edge of semiconductor manufacturing in recent years, Samsung has made no secret of the fact that it wants to challenge and surpass TSMC. Though Samsung and TSMC's 3nm nodes are not equal, the differences don't matter much if yields aren't up to par, and Samsung is reportedly doing well on that front.
