TSMC to manufacture the "Apple Silicon" for future Macs

[WYP]

It was the obvious choice, and a good one.



Read more about Apple's use of TSMC as its primary Apple Silicon producer.

While Apple may utilise Samsung's fabs to create some of their future Mac processors in the future

haha, 10 years ago their sworn enemy for stealing their iPhone designs and were locked in court battles for years, now they want to play nice cos they want something. Picture of a mac with a "Samsung Inside" or "Powered by Samsung" sticker on the front, the perfect meme to upset the fan boys

Tbf, Apple were actually using Samsung to manufacture their mobile CPUs/SoCs back then (Samsung were used until 2015).

But Samsung had previously made a big deal about the fact that their mobile division cannot step on the toes of their fabs and display manufacturing, they can use them but those are sort of separately run businesses in a way.

Yeah, Samsung operates like several separate businesses. There's Samsung the phone company, Samsung the DRAM/NAND company, Samsung the silicon fabricator etc etc.

Samsung has to many fingers in too many pies to not supply any of their competitors.

My friend visited SK and remarked that they had Samsung everything.
