Samsung reported to have low 5nm yields

However Samsung had not expected to get to get ASML’s EUV equipment for the 5nm line installed until the end of June, so the process is at a very early stage. 

It had not been thought that Samsung would be in volume production on 5nm until the end of this year and Qualcomm’s latest mobile chip-sets Snapdragon 875G and the Snapdragon 735G chipsets aren’t due on the market till 2021.


TSMC is in mass production of its version of a 5nm process running wafers for Apple’s latest processors.
