Mystery US company tapped Samsung to fabricate 3nm server chipsets
Samsung is expected to produce 3nm server chipsets for a mystery US customer. A new report from AD Technology calls for the development of a 2.5D server part, which leverages Samsung’s gate-all-around (GAA) transistor design, introduced with its 3nm process tech last year.
The contract win is significant for Samsung as much of the datacenter silicon that makes use of advanced packaging is fabbed by TSMC. That’s not to say Samsung hasn’t had success in the arena; Baidu and Samsung worked on an HBM-equipped AI accelerator for the datacenter a few years back, reports TheRegister.

AD Technology specializes in the design and implementation of silicon interposers. They’re often used to connect compute dies, like GPUs, with high-bandwidth memory over the shortest distance possible. The silicon may be used in an AI accelerator or some other bandwidth-constrained application.
AD Technology announcement reads:
AD Technology, Korea’s No. 1 semiconductor design house, announced today that it has completed a contract with an overseas customer for a 2.5D server-oriented semiconductor design project based on a 3-nanometer process using GAA (Gate-All-Around), a next-generation transistor structure.

Samsung users have been facing a frustrating issue with the NotiStar app on their Galaxy phones. Many users have reported that they receive duplicate notifications for messages regularly. This issue occurs with messaging apps and regular text messages.
Instead of one notification, users are getting two for every single message. For example, if a friend sends a message, the user receives its notification twice. It means that users are observing the same notification being displayed twice.
Samsung has acknowledged the duplicate notification issue of NotiStar. In addition, a community moderator has reassured users that the team is actively investigating the issue. He mentioned that Samsung will improve this phenomenon in an upcoming app update to fix the duplicate notification issue.
Users can expect an update soon, which should help remove duplicate notifications and improve how the app works. Samsung is actively working on a solution, and the promise of an update is encouraging for many. For now, Galaxy users can keep an eye out for the upcoming NotiStar app update.
Aside from this, Galaxy users also reported unexpected vibrations and notifications from their Galaxy phones after updating the Samsung Wallet Digital Key app. However, Samsung has fixed this issue with a fresh update for the Wallet Digital Key app.
Here’s how to stop annoying vibrations and notifications on your Samsung device
Samsung is rumored to launch a slimmer foldable smartphone this year. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition could introduce the best crease control yet. The input comes from a reputed source who also revealed the phone’s existence.
IceUniverse claims that Samsung has done a good job in Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition crease control. The next foldable phone is expected to offer an even less visible crease around the flexing area of the foldable display.
With each generation, the Korean tech giant introduces technological breakthroughs. The Fold 6 features a premium screen with minimally visible crease. The induction of the waterdrop hinge last year changed the game and competition.

This time, they have done a good job in crease control, better than ever.— ICE UNIVERSE (@UniverseIce) October 12, 2024
Will you buy Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition?
Before consumers, it depends on Samsung whether it wants everyone to buy the SE or not. The company could launch the slimmer foldable in select countries. South Korea and China are most likely, with the handset also listed in India.
The Special Edition model could feature a slimmer design compared to the Z Fold 6. The Korean tech giant is also said to be bringing a larger cover and internal display. We may also see a 200-megapixel primary camera from the S24 Ultra.
On the software end, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE could ship with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1. The Galaxy AI would play a key role in pushing it into the competition. There’s no doubt Samsung offers the best software experience on large screens.
The hardware part won’t lag as well. Samsung’s upcoming Z Fold 6 SE is said to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. It’s the same chipset that powers the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
