Samsung is expected to remain the primary chip supplier for Apple and its anticipated next-generation A6 processor despite a bitter patent dispute between the two companies, according to a new report.



From Apple Insider:

Samsung is said to have been increasing output of Apple-designed A6 chips at a manufacturing plant the company owns in Austin, Texas. The A6 CPU is expected to utilize Samsung's 28-nanometer processing technology.

Numerous reports this year have indicated that Apple has instead partnered with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. for production of its next-generation A6 and even A7 processors. Monday's report indicated that while TSMC will build chips for Apple in addition to Samsung, its volume will be "very small."
