Apple's bite is a big one. More chip making capacity is very welcome.
And that's why it's better for us if Samsung's nodes and yields are competitive. Of course, the cost of wafers or usable chips doesn't directly lead to end products rising or falling in price, but there is correlation. If AMD, Nvidia or Intel really want to gain some gaming market share, they'll have some margin to play with.
On the GPU side, the dream is to have Nvidia RTX 50, AMD RX 8000 and Intel Arc A800 all competitive on performance and manufacturing processes. If that happens, maybe we'll see a proper price war, with ever faster and more affordable products for gamers. The same fundamental points apply to CPU manufacturing too. The move to chiplet or tile architectures is well underway, and a competitive Samsung means TSMC will have to deal with the reality that it no longer has a monopoly on the most advanced chip making capabilities.
Cheap chips for chump change? Well, not quite, but we can dream. It begins with competition for TSMC. Samsung never really went anywhere, but we all need it competing head-to-head with TSMC in the big leagues.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
