Talks between Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics’ foundry unit over a new semiconductor contract manufacturing agreement have reportedly stalled because the two sides remain apart on pricing, according to a Sept. 11 update cited by BlockBeats. Qualcomm is said to be seeking lower prices, while Samsung has not accepted those terms. People identified in the report as industry sources said an application processor, or AP, project that was expected to use Samsung Foundry’s 2nm process for Qualcomm may now be pushed back to next year. With pricing discussions still unresolved, whether mass production can begin within this year has also become uncertain. The report did not provide further details on the proposed pricing terms or a revised production timetable.
