Samsung increases chipmaking prices by up to 15% amid surging demand

Samsung Electronics has increased the contract prices for advanced chip manufacturing services by as much as 15% for new orders, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Τα αυξήματα ισχύουν σε πολλούς διαδικασίατους κόμβους, με τα δισκία 4Νm (SF4) να αυξάνονται κατά 10% έως 15% για τους πελάτες στην Κίνα και στις ΗΠΑ, ενώ οι γείτονες της Ταϊβάν δήλωσαν αύξηση 5% έως 10%. Οι τιμές για τις τεχνολογίες 5Νm (SF5) και τις παλαιότερες τεχνολογίες 8Νm αυξήθηκαν κοντά στο 10% και 10% αντίστοιχα. Οι προσαρμογές ακολούθησαν μια ευρύτερη στενή αντίδραση στη δυναμικότητα των εργοστασίων που οφείλεται στην αυξημένη ζήτηση για μνήμες υψηλής ευκρίνειας και προϊόντα για υπολογιστικές εφαρμογές υψηλών επιδόσεων που χρησιμοποιούνται σε εφαρμογές τεχνολογίας τεχνητής νοημοσύνης.

Samsung’s foundry unit accounted for 7% of global foundry revenue in the first quarter of 2026, far behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), which held over 70%. Analysts note that TSMC’s own price increases and capacity constraints have pushed customers toward alternative suppliers, including Samsung and Intel, enabling the Korean firm to raise its own rates.

회사는 고도화 프로세스가 2026년 생산의 절반 이상을 차지할 것으로 예상하고 있으며, AI 및 고성능 컴퓨팅 애플리케이션이 전체 출력의 30% 이상을 차지할 것으로 전망됩니다. 이는 2025년 말의 15~20%에서 크게 증가한 수치입니다. 삼성은 또한 AI 칩을 위한 생산 계약을 브라드컴과 맺었으며, 자회사인 삼성 파운드리 사업부가 조만간 수익성을 회복할 것으로 예상하고 있습니다. 서울에 위치한 BNK Investment & Securities의 분석가인 이민희(Lee Min-hee)는 가격 상승의 추세가 지속되면 삼성의 파운드리 사업이 2027년에 수익성을 회복할 수 있다고 예측했는데, 이는 이전에 예상했던 것보다 훨씬 빠른 시일입니다.

Samsung’s Pyeongtaek facility in South Korea, which began full-capacity operations late last year, has been a key driver in its push into the AI and HPC segments. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed in March that Samsung would manufacture the chipmaker’s new AI inference processor, underscoring the strategic shift toward high-margin, cutting-edge applications.
