Njengoba wazi, i-Samsung ingumkhiqizi ohamba phambili we-semiconductor ngenxa yokubusa kwayo emakethe ye-memory chip. Isanda kutshala imali eningi kuma-logic chips ukuze iqhudelane kangcono ne-semiconductor behemoth TSMC. Manje izindaba sezingenile emoyeni, ngokusho ukuthi i-Samsung ihlela ukwakha imboni yayo ethuthuke kakhulu yokukhiqiza ama-logic chips e-USA, ikakhulukazi esifundazweni saseTexas, ngamadola angaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-10 (cishe imiqhele eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-215).
Ngokusho kweBloomberg, ecashunwe yiwebhusayithi yeSamMobile, abakwaSamsung banethemba lokuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali kuka-10 billion kuzoyisiza ukuthi iwine amakhasimende amaningi e-US, njenge-Google, Amazon noma iMicrosoft, futhi iqhudelane ngokuphumelelayo ne-TSMC. AbakwaSamsung kuthiwa bahlela ukwakha ifekthri enhlokodolobha yaseTexas, i-Austin, okuzoqala ukwakhiwa kulo nyaka kanye nemishini emikhulu ezofakwa ngonyaka ozayo. Ukukhiqizwa kwangempela kwama-chips (ikakhulukazi okusekelwe kunqubo ye-3nm) kufanele kuqale ngo-2023.
Kodwa-ke, i-Samsung akuyona ukuphela kwenkampani enalo mbono. Ngokuzenzakalelayo, i-TSMC enkulu yaseTaiwan isivele yakha imboni ye-chip e-USA, hhayi eTexas, kodwa e-Arizona. Futhi utshalomali lwakhe luphakeme nakakhulu - amadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-12 (cishe imiqhele eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-257,6). Kodwa-ke, izosebenza kuphela ngo-2024, okungukuthi unyaka owodwa kamuva kune-Samsung.
Isikhondlakhondla sezobuchwepheshe saseNingizimu Korea sesivele sinemboni eyodwa e-Austin, kodwa siyakwazi kuphela ukukhiqiza ama-chips sisebenzisa izinqubo ezindala. Idinga isitshalo esisha semigqa ye-EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography). Njengamanje, i-Samsung inemigqa emibili enjalo - eyodwa embonini yayo enkulu yama-chip edolobheni laseNingizimu Korea i-Hwasong, kanti enye yakhiwa ePyongyang.
I-Samsung ayizange ifihle ukuthi ifuna ukuba umdlali omkhulu emkhakheni wokukhiqiza ama-chip, kodwa ilindele ukudiliza i-TSMC. Ekupheleni konyaka odlule, umemezele ukuthi uhlose ukutshala ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-116 (cishe imiqhele eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2,5) ebhizinisini lakhe ngokukhiqiza ama-chip "next-gen" eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo.
