Qualcomm reportedly considering Samsung's 2nm node for the standard variant while keeping the Pro on TSMC. A major foundry shift.
Unannounced MediaTek chips labeled MT6995Z surfaced on Xianyu for $30 — from the same seller who leaked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro samples.
TSMC's 1.6nm A16 node is on track for Q4 2026, with 8-10% gains over 2nm and a new backside power delivery design built for AI workloads.
Four years of losses and 7% market share. Samsung just raised chip prices 15% — and AI demand means clients have nowhere else to go.
The A20 Pro wafers are done and 2nm yields are on track. But LPDDR5X memory hasn't arrived, and WMCM packaging can't proceed without it.
Qualcomm's next flagship gets an Adreno 850 GPU with six shader slices — double the Gen 5. The GPU leap could justify the Pro's $330 price tag.
MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro is reportedly 28% cheaper than Qualcomm's next flagship, giving OEMs a way out of the silicon cost crisis.
Qualcomm's next flagship chip measures 134 mm² on TSMC's 2nm nanosheet process, larger than its predecessor. It adds LPDDR6, Adreno 850 GPU, and 18MB GMEM.
