Reports suggest that Samsung's LSI division is facing challenges, leading to discussions about a possible merger with the Foundry division. It is believed that a merger between the two divisions could help address issues related to chip manufacturing and design.
Initial rumors pointed towards a merger between Samsung MX (Mobile Experience) and LSI, but recent developments indicate a potential merger between Foundry and LSI. While no final decision has been made, insiders suggest that a merger with Foundry is being considered as a preferred option.
Both LSI and Foundry were previously part of the Samsung DS division but were separated in 2017 to avoid conflicts of interest with other Foundry clients. The discussions about a possible merger indicate Samsung's efforts to improve its chip-manufacturing business.
