Not only Samsung has problems with Galaxy Note 7, but the company is also facing issues with the production of Snapdragon 830 chipset. According to a report published today in China’s Economic Daily News, Qualcomm will switch to TSMC as Samsung has fallen behind schedule.
DigiTimes also mentions that Qualcomm will switch production of the new Snapdragon 830 to TSMC in an attempt to put the project back on track. Not only Qualcomm will be affected by the delay, but also most of the top-tier companies that have been using Qualcomm’s 8-series family products for their high-end models.
Qualcomm is likely to switch follow-up orders for its Snapdragon 830 chips to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in 2017 as production of the 10nm chips at current maker Samsung LSI has reportedly fallen behind schedule, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report.
A possible delay in the production of the Snapdragon 830 chips is suspected as most Android smartphone vendors have not yet received qualified samples, which are needed for the development and production of high-end models to be showcased or released in early 2017, said the report.
