Samsung Plans to Triple its Chip Foundry Market Share in 5 Years

While average customers know of Samsung for their finished products (smartphones, TVs, etc.), the company actually produces a lot of the components used inside these devices. One area of focus is the company's chip foundry business which they use to produce their Exynos SoCs. Samsung competes with the likes of TSMC and Intel as one of the few who actually fabricate their own chips in-house and it looks like the South Korean tech giant is looking to expand in this area.

Samsung is the market leader when it comes to technology like AMOLED displays and memory chips, but they actually lag behind TSMC when we just look at contract manufacturing for SoCs. Current reports puts TSMC at 50.6% last year while Samsung was only able to capture 7.9% (though important clients). They're even trailing behind the likes of Global Foundries and UMC which were reported to have 9.6% and 8.1% respectively. But this new move from Samsung shows they want to shrink that gap over the next few years.

Samsung doesn't have any unrealistic projections either, with its Executive Vice President and head of the new Samsung foundry division, E.S. Jung, saying the company wants to become a strong #2 player in the market. If Samsung's plans are successful, then they should easily be able to hit that goal too. Mr. Jung also says they'll be able to keep these new factories flexible so they can increase or decrease production depending on the demands of the market.

Samsung will be able to do this by relying on memory chip lines when demand for regular chip demand is low. This is something that would benefit both Samsung and consumers as high demand for memory chips in both the smartphone and PC sectors have increased pricing significantly. Samsung's end goal with this new expansion has them trying to obtain 25% of the chip manufacturing market over the next 5 years.

How To Install Android Nougat Based 5.8.3 Resurrection Remix ROM On Lenovo K6 Power Smartphone

Lenovo launched the new K6 Power smartphone a couple of months back and it is one of the most popular devices that Lenovo launched in recent times. It is a budget mid-ranged offering from the company which packs a huge battery and hence the name Power. It will easily last you for upto 2 days with medium usage on a single charge. However, if you own this smartphone, then you already know that the software on it is not the best one out there.

However, there is not a lot that you can do, other than flashing a third party custom ROM. There are a ton of options available for that in the market. Well, if you are wondering how to do it, then you are in the right place. Today we will show you exactly How To Install Android Nougat Based 5.8.3 Resurrection Remix ROM On Lenovo K6 Power Smartphone.

About the ROM

Below are some of the working features of the smartphone on this ROM –

  • Camera rear/front (Photographs)

Pre-requisite

  • The first thing which you need to make sure is that you are creating a complete backup of your files. Since we will be completely wiping the internal memory of the phone, you will end up loosing all your files.
  • You also need to make sure that you are installing a custom recovery software. You can install any of your choices, however, we suggest you go for TWRP for this installation.
  • You also need to make sure that the battery in the tablet has about 60-percent charge before you begin the installation. If your smartphone's battery dies during the installation, then you may end up with a completely bricked smartphone.
