Samsung and Qualcomm are two sides of the same coin, wherein both companies need each other. Qualcomm, more so than Samsung. Qualcomm does not have its own plant where they can manufacture their chips, making them reliant on third-party manufacturers like Samsung and a few others. However, now it seems that Qualcomm is looking towards TSMC to help them out with the situation. This is not the first time Qualcomm has done that, but so far, the Snapdragon 888 orders were being fulfilled by Samsung, but now it seems that Qualcomm might be going to TSMC for future high-end 5G chips.

Qualcomm has worked with both companies as far as manufacturing is concerned. The latest industry source claims that TSMC and Qualcomm have managed to take a step that will solidify their relationship in the future. Despite the manufacturing capacity already under strain, TSMC has agreed to go ahead with manufacturing the high-end 5G chips on a rush order.
