Samsung has announced a 10-year, $116 billion plan to take over the lead as the world’s foremost processor maker by 2030, as reported by Bloomberg today.

Which is to say that, as much as we focus on Samsung’s consumer products like the Galaxy S10 and flop-of-the-year candidate Galaxy Fold, the company’s money is made chiefly by building the internal chips that feed and power consumer electronics. Even Apple has little choice but to use Samsung’s displays and memory.
