Samsung Forges New Business Explicitly for Contract Chips
May 12, 2017, 7:24 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Samsung has split its processor manufacturing business into two units so the company can better handle outside clients. Samsung makes a lot of silicon and much of it, such as the Exynos processor line, ends up in Samsung smartphones, tablets, and other products. The company also manufactures components for outside clients, including Qualcomm and Nvidia. The move effectively divides Samsung's foundry and system chip operations. The change will help Samsung manage its manufacturing processes more efficiently while also giving outside clients some peace of mind with respect to the safety and security of their designs. Samsung executive Kim Ki-nam will oversee both businesses.
