Beijing on February 22, Qualcomm and Samsung released a press release on the official website at almost the same time, announced Qualcomm's 5G mobile processor using Samsung's latest 7nm LPP EUV process.
Samsung's new 7nm process is called the 7nm LPP (Extreme Power Ultra) EUV (ultra-ultra-violet) process technology, and Samsung announced 7LPP EUV technology in 2017. Compared to the 10nm FinFET process used in today's high-end SoCs, the Samsung 7PP EUV technology Will result in a 40% increase in space utilization, a 10% increase in performance, or a 35% decrease in power consumption.
Earlier, Qualcomm announced the first generation of 7nm SoC technology will be handed over to TSMC found that this is likely to be the next generation of Qualcomm's flagship SoC - Snapdragon 855 (estimated to use LTE baseband, or just released X24 LTE Modem) , But in a short period of time and announced the 5G era chip Samsung's 7nm LPP, maybe Snapdragon 855 there is an enhanced version of the use of 5G baseband? These problems we can only wait until 2017 let Qualcomm announced.
