Tsmc will be in charge of producing snapdragon 865

Snapdragon 865 is the new high-end processor from Qualcomm, which will be the star in Android in the high-end throughout 2020. The processor was presented a few weeks ago and we have been knowing more details about it. One of the questions was who would be in charge of producing it, because it was speculated that it could be Samsung. Finally we already know.

TSMC will be in charge of producing Snapdragon 865

It has finally been TSMC chosen by Qualcomm for the production of its new high-end chip. A choice based on the firm's capacity, innovation and reliability.

Qualcomm has chosen

One of the reasons that have influenced this decision is that Qualcomm does not want Samsung to have all the details about Snapdragon 865. The American firm does not fully trust the Koreans, so they prevent them from having access to this data, with TSMC being the option preferred by his part so that they are in charge of the production of this new processor of reference.

Although this does not mean that they will not work with Samsung, because the Korean firm will be in charge of producing its mid-range processors, the Snapdragon 730 and 730G. So there is still collaboration.

TSMC takes the jackpot in this case, having the honor of producing Snapdragon 865, which will be the most powerful and important processor in Android in this 2020, which we will see in the main phones within the high-end market. Surely, starting in January, the first models with this chip will be announced.
