0940 GMT - Global chip foundry revenue is set to extend record growth in 3Q, driven by rising production of next-generation AI and high-performance computing chips, seasonal smartphone introductions and concerns over tighter mature-node capacity, TrendForce says. The world's top 10 foundries posted combined revenue of $53.5 billion in 2Q, up 11.5% sequentially. TSMC retains its dominance with a 72.5% market share, while Chinese chip maker SMIC narrowed the gap with Samsung after 2Q revenue surged 20% to more than $3 billion. SMIC's share rose to 5.4% from 5.0%, approaching Samsung's 5.9%, as demand strengthened for AI peripheral chips, server networking products and consumer electronics. Samsung's revenue rose 1.8%, but its market share slipped as rivals expanded at a faster clip, TrendForce says.
