As for TSMC, maybe Nintendo will give them the contract for their next gen devices. Oh, wait... (http://wccftech.com/nintendo-confirms-console-powered-amd/) =))

Fun fact i bet you didn't know about Samsung:

Samsung C&T built Tower 2 of the Petronas towers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petronas_Towers) (the first one completed) as well as the Taipei 101 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taipei_101) and the Burj Khalifa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Khalifa) (the tallest artificial structure in the world, standing at 829.8 m (2,722 ft)), three of the world's ten tallest buildings.
