According to data released by Samsung recently, the second generation of 10-nanometer (10LPP) process is developed for low-power products, compared with the first generation of 10-nanometer FinFET process technology (10LPE), 10LPP process can make the performance A 10% increase in power consumption and a 15% reduction in power consumption. As the process continues with its 10LPE process, which is in volume production, it will be significantly more competitive due to the significant reduction in lead time from development to mass production and higher initial production yield , Is currently in production in South Korea Hwaseong's latest S3 production line.
In the product section, Samsung also pointed out that the first 10-nm 10LPP process will be Samsung's own Exynos 9810 processor to handle its own-brand Galaxy S9 and S9 + flagship models to be introduced in spring 2018 Demand for smartphones Since the outside world had expected Samsung to invest $ 5bn in foundry operations in 2017 and aggressively push ASML's production capacity for EUV makers, Can lead the mass production of TSMC on the node of 7 nanometers of processes.However, even if preemptive mass production, want to go beyond TSMC still have great difficulty under the circumstance, Exynos 9810 processor is left in the second generation of 10 nanometer (10LPP ) The most stable process, to ensure that in 2018 with the Galaxy S9 and S9 + flagship smart phone launch without delay.
As for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, the original market speculation is likely to be synchronized with the Exynos 9810 to the second generation of 10-nanometer (10LPP) process, and the current market news is left in the 10LPE.However, Although there is no way to pioneer the use of the second-generation 10nm (10LPP) process from Samsung, it is still the latest and highest-performing high-end mobile processor for Android at its current stage of development.
According to the currently exposed data analysis, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor in addition to Samsung's first generation of 10-nanometer LPE process technology will be used, the CPU part includes four A75-based architecture to improve the big core, and four A53 small core , GPU is upgraded to Adreno 630. Photography, it is to support the highest before and after the 25 million number of pairs of photographic lens, combined with the X20 baseband chips to support 802.11ad Wi-Fi network, the maximum download speed of up to 1.2Gbps performance. , Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 in 2018 after the launch, will still be Android brand mobile phone factory of all ages.
