Samsung begins 14nm contract chip production | ZDNet
Any guess?
The S1 made at 14nm would be overkill to me. Qualcomm next Snapdragon 810 is manufactured at 20nm. AMD should not show any 14nm product before 2016. Well, maybe it is a Samsung chip
Kim Ki-nam, president of Samsung's semiconductor business and head of System LSI business, said production is going very well for its 14-nanometre FinFET foundry. However, Kim did not say which client it is producing the chips for.
Any guess?
The two likeliest candidates for Samsung's first batch of 14-nanometer chips are Apple, which has reportedly begun chip orders for its S1 system in a package that will power the Apple Watch, and Qualcomm, the biggest fish in application processors (AP), which has inked a deal with the South Korean tech giant for the latter to produce next-generation APs. The chips could also potentially be for AMD's new GPUs.
