Not long ago, Huawei officially confirmed the news that Kirin 980 chip adopts 7nm process technology. On the mobile phone chip, Huawei represents the highest level of domestic production, and announced the 7nm chip in advance, that is, it wants to exceed Qualcomm in the corner. However, Qualcomm does not want Huawei to Later, I also confirmed that the new generation of chips uses 7nm process information.
Last night, Qualcomm officially announced that it has begun to produce a new generation of Snapdragon SoC chips, confirmed based on the 7nm process. Qualcomm said that this 7nm SoC can be paired with the Snapdragon X50 5G baseband, which is expected to be the platform for the first 5G flagship phones.
At present, there are quite a few OEMs who have obtained samples. They are developing next-generation consumer products based on this. Qualcomm revealed that it will announce the details of the new Snapdragon SoC in the fourth quarter of this year.
Previously, Qualcomm never announced the release of the Snapdragon chip, so this time is slightly abnormal. AnandTech's analysis is that Huawei will launch a 7nm-based Kirin 980 this month, and Qualcomm may not want to be taken away. According to the information at hand, Xinlong is expected to name the Xiaolong 855 (or Xiaolong 8150), TSMC's first-generation 7nm process, and the Kryo nuclear may be based on the Cortex A76 architecture.
