Samsung starts mass production of 10nm chips

Samsung now will start from scratch again to root out those jokes that will come up every time someone purchases a smartphone from the Korean manufacturer. These almost two months of nightmare have been a very low blow for a manufacturer that had a dream year with excellent sales of the Galaxy S7.

This is when you have announced that you have started with mass production of 10nm chips, so it becomes the first in the industry to do so. The company has stated that a new product would have these chips at the beginning of the year, and from what it seems, everything indicates that they would be the new Snapdragon 830 from Qualcomm.

A new walk for Samsung that seems very difficult, but these 10nm chips that will be included in the new Snapdragon 830 SoC Qualcomm seems the best reason to get away from those roads in which you have been involved with the nightmare of the Galaxy Note 7.

According to rumors, the manufacturer will use in these new chips a technology called Fan-out Panel Level Package (FoPLP) which will allow Samsung to mount the chips without having to use a printed circuit board for the substrate, allowing those chips to be even thinner.

If that speculation becomes a reality, eliminating the 14nm FinFET node used for the Snapdragon 820 SoC will make the Snapdragon 830 be even cheaper producing it. This will also allow the chip to be more energy efficient.

The world's largest Taiwanese semiconductor company, TSMC, already said earlier this year that it will be manufacturing chip using 7nm process by early 2018. Samsung would follow in its wake as expected.

Now we hope to start with the news related to the Galaxy S8, from which everything is expected for Samsung be able to get out of the mist In which it is found.
