Not surprising given their behavior. Intel stopped innovating around the time ryzen came out. Ryzen itself was an innovation. When was the last time Samsung innovated anything? Quantum dots are a revolution but not related to chips.

Ehm...... You may be using their DRAM or NAND.

& Screen tech, possibly camera sensors/lenses — going beyond the original scope of the post, but still.

…okay well besides all that, what have the Romans done for us?

Anyone that's owned both Samsung and TSMC fabbed chips in phones in the past 5 years just knows the Samsung ones run hot, are inferior to TSMC. They are the company you fallback to if you can't get it done on TSMC due to shortages.

I am sorry but that is incredibly simplistic view. Yes TSMC is better but this is a winnner takes all industry. Samsung has other problems since its its own customer for chips and has fingers in many other industries. It is still a wonder that they are basically the 2nd best fab in the world.

Are you basing that on two phones you owned? Is there data out there?
