Samsung's Reduced Pricing Strategy Challenges TSMC's Dominance

Samsung has been striving to improve its chip manufacturing capabilities to compete with TSMC. Recently, Samsung made a strategic decision to significantly reduce the pricing of its 2 nm wafers, putting pressure on TSMC. This move has raised questions about TSMC's dominance in the chip manufacturing industry, making it harder for clients to choose between the two companies for their manufacturing needs. While Samsung still faces challenges with achieving feasible yields for its 2 nm processes, the company's progress has been promising, as seen in the upcoming Exynos 2600 processor for the Galaxy S26 lineup. This pricing strategy shift could reshape the competitive landscape in the semiconductor market.
