Samsung is pushing its 1.4nm node to 2029 and doubling down on 2nm refinement to compete for AI chip orders while adopting High-NA EUV for 1nm production by 2030.

Samsung's 4nm and 5nm wafer prices jumped 10-15% in July, marking the first time the loss-making foundry division could raise prices instead of compete on cost
