Now, the company is reportedly raising chip production prices as its manufacturing capacity comes under pressure from a surge in customer orders.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/biz.chosun.com\/en\/en-it\/2026\/07\/09\/B66LWYJFXZEBTJMRPCLAKHYIXY\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">report<\/a> from Chosun Biz, Samsung Foundry has decided to increase chip manufacturing prices by up to 15% for new customers. The price hike applies to advanced process nodes such as 4nm and 5nm. The South Korean firm has also reportedly increased prices for select 8nm process nodes optimized for automotive applications. The company recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-foundry-posts-first-profit-three-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">returned to monthly profitability<\/a> for the first time in three years.\n<\/p>\n<p>Chip manufacturing prices are typically stable once production yields improve. However, the ongoing AI boom has created a gap between supply and demand, prompting foundries such as Samsung Foundry and TSMC to raise prices. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsungs-biggest-rival-continues-to-crush-it-in-this-lucrative-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">TSMC<\/a> has also reportedly increased prices by 5% to 10% for its 3nm, 5nm, and 7nm process nodes.\n<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Samsung Foundry secured a massive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-bags-massive-16-5-billion-deal-make-2nm-ai-chips-tesla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">$16.5 billion chip manufacturing contract<\/a> from Tesla.
