Tencent Digital (Blue) Samsung GAAXY S8 next year will use the new 10nm process processor is not a new topic, and now there is further news. Recently, Samsung officially issued a press release, announcing the world’s first mass production of chips based on the 10nm FinFET process, and stated that it will use it in a product planned for release in 2017. Although Samsung did not disclose more information on this new product next year, it should be the legendary GALAXY S8.
Mass production of 10nm chip
According to a press release released by Samsung, the world's first 10nm process technology chip will be officially put into mass production, which will make Samsung ahead of Intel and TSMC, and become the first manufacturer in the industry to produce 10nm process technology chips. It is reported that Samsung's 10nm FinFET adopts an advanced 3D transistor structure and design. Compared to 14nm FinFET, its area efficiency is increased by 30%, performance is improved by 27%, and power consumption is reduced by 40%.
At the same time, Samsung also stated that in order to overcome the limitation of the scale, the edge technology of the 10nm FinFET that was mass-produced still continued the previous triple cutting to ensure the flexibility of the bidirectional link of the node. In addition, the current Samsung 10nm process is known as 10LPE, which is an early low-power version, and the subsequent 10nm LPP will be in volume production in the second half of next year, which can be used for higher performance chips.
GALAXY S8 starting
It is worth mentioning that Samsung also stated that the 10nm chip that will be mass-produced will be used in products released early next year. Although there is no specific disclosure of more information, it is widely speculated that the legendary GALAXY S8 may be used for the first time. This 10nm process chip. Prior to this, there were news reports that Samsung will become the exclusive foundry of Qualcomm’s high-end chip, the Xiaolong 830, which uses 10nm process technology and will have 50% of the new GALAXY S series flagship that will be launched next year. This processor will be used.
In addition, Samsung's own Exynos 8895 processor will also use the 10nm process technology, allegedly will have up to 3.0GHz frequency speed, and equipped with the new Mali-G71 GPU, using the new ARM Bifrost micro-architecture, Can provide high-end 4K and VR experience, while the data transfer speed is 1.8 times the cash Exynos 8890, even more than the display performance of the Snapdragon 830. Of course, this processor will also become one of the standard configurations of the GALAXY S8.
Or no 4K screen version
However, although Samsung has provided support for 4K displays on the processor level, the upcoming GALAXY S8 may not provide a 4K display version. According to users @BT2020_10Bit broke the news on the microblogging, said the Samsung GALSXY S8 series is stable and stable, have not heard of mass production 4k small size display plan. In contrast, the 4096-level pressure sensing and TDDI screens provided by the GALAXY S8 provide more integrated fingerprint recognition.
In addition, the user also gave some configuration information of two versions of the Samsung GALAXY S8, including the 5.1-inch version of the GALAXY S8 and the 5.5-inch GALAXY S8 Plus, all equipped with a 2K display, as for the processor There is no suspense is the production of the 10nm process Xiaolong 830 and Exynos 8895. However, the above information is all network rumors, but the Samsung GALAXY S8 will be the first 10nm chip processor should be no suspense, allegedly will be on February 26 next year at the WMC2017 show officially debut.
