Samsung is producing the current A14 chip for Tesla, while TSMC won the deal to produce the A15 chip. For the A16, Samsung will be back onboard. This new deal lasts until 2033, so it's likely designed to keep Samsung producing the A17 and beyond.

In a regulatory filing in South Korea, Samsung announced it has secured a $16.5 billion multi-year deal to make chips for a “big global company.”

Samsung will produce Tesla’s next-gen AI chips at its semiconductor plant set to open next year northeast of Austin in Taylor.
