It's an older node, sir, however it checks out: Samsung seems to have scooped a cope with Intel to make its subsequent technology of motherboard chipsets in its 8 nm fabs

In relation to the most recent CPUs and GPUs, everyone knows that they must be made on essentially the most complicated and costly course of nodes, as a way to pack in billions of transistors into the die. Nevertheless, not all chips must be fabricated this manner, which is why Intel is barely simply making the transition to eight nm for its motherboard chipsets. Extra importantly, although, it appears that evidently it will not be the US chip big that shall be making them, however Samsung as a substitute.

That is in accordance with a information report by The Korean Financial Every day, aka Hankyung (by way of Tom’s {Hardware}). Sources inside the business have instructed the publication that Samsung is “on the verge of securing an order for Intel’s 8 nm chips.” It isn’t speaking in regards to the firm’s CPUs or GPUs, although, however somewhat its PCHs or platform controller hubs.
