Samsung said 10LPP technology developed for low-power products, compared to the first generation of 10LPE, 10LPP process can make the performance increase of 10%, power consumption reduced by 15%. And, because the process is continued in the mass production In the 10LPE process, it will be able to significantly shorten the development from the mass production to the preparation time and provide higher initial production yield, it is more competitive advantage in the market.
Samsung further said that products made using 10LPP process technology are expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2018. Ryan Lee, vice president of OEM marketing at Samsung Electronics, said that Samsung will be able to make more progress from the 10LPE manufacturing process to the 10LPP manufacturing process Good customer service, while improving performance, improve initial production.
