Earlier, a roadmap leaked that Samsung would be taking 5nm EUV orders for the Snapdragon 875G, but shortly afterward, it was reported that the launch might get delayed as the Korean giant was facing production difficulties with its next-generation node. Now, according to a report coming out of China, Samsung has lost all 5nm orders to TSMC because of these unnecessary delays.

Despite the fact that a previous report mentioned that Snapdragon 875 shipments will start from Q4, 2020, the fresh report from China (via GizmoChina) details that mass production from TSMC’s side will start from the second half of 2021. It’s possible the report states this because TSMC has received an influx of orders and the manufacturer is most likely operating at maximum production capacity, meaning that it may experience difficulty providing the shipments to Qualcomm in a timely manner.
