Samsung announces the 1.4nm process for the first time: the chip will be put into production in 2027.

Although NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun has pessimistic dialectic and Moore's Law is dead, for the three biggest fabs of TSMC, Samsung and Intel, scaling nanoscale chips has not stopped.

A few days ago, Samsung announced the 1.4nm process node for the first time in its revised plan, and plans to put it into production in 2027.

At the same time, Samsung also decided to put the 2nm process into production in 2025, roughly in sync with TSMC.

In fact, Samsung has already announced the start of production of chips with GAA 3nm transistor structure, although the world outside doubts that the first batch of products are only used by mining machine manufacturers as "guinea pigs".

At least compared to Intel, Samsung's progress is ahead of schedule, and the latter's 18A process (equivalent to 2nm) was brought into production at the end of 2024.

In terms of other processes, Samsung next wants to expand 3nm (expected second generation) to high-performance computing and mobile chips, while developing a dedicated 4nm process for high-performance computing and automotive chips.

In addition, there are 5nm and 8nm processes for service RF devices, and 8nm, 14nm and 28nm processes for embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM).

According to Samsung, they expect to triple chip production capacity by 2027.
