Samsung is the first foundry to do GAA w&amp;#x2F;3nm while TSMC is sticking w&amp;#x2F;FinFET for their 3nm. It&amp;#x27;ll be interesting to see how 3nm FinFET compare to 3nm GAA.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.anandtech.com&amp;#x2F;show&amp;#x2F;16041&amp;#x2F;where-are-my-gaafets-tsmc-to-stay-with-finfet-for-3nm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.anandtech.com&amp;#x2F;show&amp;#x2F;16041&amp;#x2F;where-are-my-gaafets-ts...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;edit:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;After that, transistor structures begin to change. Samsung and TSMC are manufacturing chips at 7nm and 5nm based on today’s finFETs. Samsung will move to nanosheet FETs at 3nm. Intel is also developing GAA technology. TSMC plans to extend finFETs to 3nm, and then will migrate to nanosheet FETs at 2nm around 2024.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;semiengineering.com&amp;#x2F;the-increasingly-uneven-race-to-3nm-2nm&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;semiengineering.com&amp;#x2F;the-increasingly-uneven-race-to-...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;m fed up... OLED is superior so they had to take the path of calling theirs QLED which is actually just an LCD screen with phosphors on top of a blue backlight (and it&amp;#x27;s nothing new).</text></comment>
