Negotiations between Qualcomm and Samsung over 2nm foundry have stalled, AP project may be delayed until next year

According to reports, negotiations for a new round of semiconductor contract manufacturing agreements between Qualcomm (QCOM.US) and Samsung Electronics’ foundry business have stalled due to price disagreements. Qualcomm is demanding a price reduction, but Samsung Electronics has refused to accept it. According to industry insiders, the AP project for Qualcomm, which was expected to use Samsung Electronics’ foundry division's 2nm process, may be postponed until next year. As price negotiations continue, the possibility of mass production within the year has also become uncertain.
