I personally would expect AMD to absolutely use Samsung at some point to reduce the choke but think they'll design something for Samsung's nodes, despite similarity in nodes I doubt that their present design's would translate well to Samsung however the new console's will be updated quite regularly even while staying identical in specs etc, all to reduce BOM costs, this is the way.
Or the extra chips could be supportive chips like the recent ML chiplet or Io die.
That aligns quite well with this news but it is. Just an opinion.
