Samsung today announced it has begun mass producing a new mobile application processor based on its 14nm process.
Compared to Samsung’s 20nm process, the 14nm process delivers 20% faster speeds, 35% less power consumption, and 30% productivity gain. The new process makes use of a three-dimensional FinFET structure on transistors.
Samsung said the 14nm process will form the core of its own Exynos 7 Octa mobile processor. The 14nm process will reach other products, such as those Samsung makes for other companies, later in the year.
