Samsung is slowly rebuilding its chip manufacturing business by getting new orders for both advanced and older technologies. While much attention is on its 2nm process, Samsung is also seeing strong demand for its 8nm technology. A new deal with Intel could help Samsung grow further in the global chip market.

The latest information suggests that Samsung is in talks to produce Intel’s PCH chips using its 8nm process. The PCH is an important chip found in computers and servers. It assists the main processor by handling data flow, device connections, and system control.

Earlier, Samsung made these Intel PCH chips using a 14nm process at its factory in Austin, Texas. Now, Intel plans to upgrade the design to Samsung’s 8nm process.

The production of this 8nm chip is expected to happen at Samsung’s Hwaseong factory in South Korea. Moving production there could help Samsung better use its domestic facilities. It also shows that Samsung’s Korean plants are playing a bigger role in its foundry business.

Samsung’s 8nm process is already being used by other big companies. The company is making a custom chip designed by Nvidia for Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 console. There are also talks that Nvidia may order more affordable graphics chips made with 8nm technology.

In addition, Samsung recently signed a deal with Hyundai Motor Company to produce 8nm chips for cars. At the moment, Samsung can currently produce about 30,000 to 40,000 wafers per month using its 8nm process. This makes up around 9% of its total chip production capacity.
