Tesla will produce its next-generation AI6 chip at Samsung's new Texas factory in a $16.5B deal, Elon Musk confirmed. The AI chip will power autonomous driving and humanoid robots, boosting Samsung's foundry ambitions.

Intel admits that it may halt or cancel development of its 14A (1.4nm-class) process node — its first to use High-NA EUV — if it fails to secure a major external customer or meet key milestones, which would likely mean its exit from the leading-edge semiconductor race.

Samsung Electronics plans to begin mass production of its 2nm semiconductor process in the second half of 2025. Although reports indicate that Samsung is currently trailing TSMC in yield rates, the company is reportedly identifying solutions to improve performance.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7’s potential shift to the Exynos 2500 chipset marks a critical juncture in Samsung’s foldable device strategy and its broader ambitions in semiconductor technology.

South Korea’s Supreme Court on July 17 cleared Jay Y. Lee of all charges related to a 2015 merger between two Samsung affiliates.
