Some interesting things be happening in the Foundry sector. First is Intel opening up their fabs to third party customers which means we will now have 3 main foundries to choose from. And second is Samsung will be using GAA/MBC for their 3nm node instead of FinFET that TSMC is using and GAA is supposed to be significantly better. If they actually manage to do it, Nvidia's early investment into Samsung will pay off significantly similarly to how AMD invested into TSMC and reaped the benefits. And not to mention it will change the monopoly status from TSMC to Samsung.
