Samsung is leveraging its supply of HBM4 memory to negotiate chip manufacturing business with AMD, aiming to produce AMD's CPUs and GPUs on its 2nm SF2P process despite yield challenges and AMD's current reliance on TSMC.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 5 sources have reported it between 7 Oct 2026 and 10 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Samsung is pushing to regain AMD’s chip business by using scarce HBM4 memory as leverage. If you build supply chains or tools for chip production, shifts between Samsung and TSMC could reshape where key chips get made.
