A new rumor suggests that smartphone manufacturers may begin reserving their most advanced chipsets exclusively for Ultra models of flagship phones due to ongoing supply constraints in TSMC’s 2nm production and a persistent DRAM shortage.
The claim, which has not been verified, originates from a tipster known as Digital Chat Station on Weibo and was reported by Wccftech. According to the source, TSMC’s 2nm wafer yields remain insufficient for mass production, forcing companies to prioritize the limited supply of top-tier chipsets for their highest-end devices.
