US Government helps Samsung to ramp up chip production in Texas
The South Korean tech giant is building a new semiconductor manufacturing unit in Taylor, Texas, and for that, the maker was in talks with the US to obtain fab subsidies. However, a new report hints that the US Government might have finally decided to help Samsung ramp up its chip production in Texas.
As per the Reuters report, the US government has plans to award more than $6 billion to Samsung, helping the chipmaker expand its chip production project in Texas which it has already announced. Notably, Samsung has not yet confirmed anything officially on this matter, but we can expect to get a confirmation soon.
As the subsidies for Samsung are among several awards that the US Commerce Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks, including a grant of more than $5 billion to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.

Simultaneously, these larger-than-expected subsidies from the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act will likely come with the condition that Samsung, the world’s largest memory chipmaker, commit to extra US investments beyond its ongoing project in Texas.
This funding signifies a crucial step in the US government’s efforts to support domestic chip production amid a global semiconductor shortage. Consequently, the mass production at the Texas facility was expected to begin in the second half of 2024, but it was delayed to 2025.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra would be 2025’s best gaming smartphone. A new leak claims that the Snapdragon chip that will be used in the Galaxy S25 series will be equipped with an extremely powerful GPU for enhanced graphics performance.
DigitalChatStation reports that the Samsung Galaxy S25 featuring Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 might run Genshin Impact at 1080p resolution. Not only the Galaxy S25 series, but upcoming Android phones with the same chip may offer identical graphics performance.
Despite having similar chipsets, Samsung’s flagships will have an edge over rivals. Qualcomm fabricates custom Snapdragon chips for Samsung with “for Galaxy” branding. Custom chipsets either have increased CPU speed or more powerful graphics.
Genshin Impact is known as a graphically intensive smartphone game. Despite running at 720p by default, many smartphones struggle to maintain the 60fps frame rate mark at the highest graphics quality. Meanwhile, it wouldn’t be the same case for 2025 Android flagships.
Qualcomm is reportedly targeting to introduce Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in early October this year. Chinese vendors are also racing to be the first to adopt this flagship chipset. Exynos 2500 will also power Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus in most of the countries outside the US.
