Samsung Electronics plans to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s 3-nanometer manufacturing process for base dies in Nvidia’s next-generation custom high-bandwidth memory chips, according to an October 18 report by the Seoul Economic Daily.

The newspaper’s account, also reported by Reuters, would mark Samsung’s first cooperation with the Taiwanese contract chipmaker at the HBM manufacturing stage.

Revenue reached NT$1,494.24 billion, an increase of 50.9%. Diluted earnings were NT$29.43 per share, equivalent to US$4.60 per ADR unit.
