Intel initially planned a release for its 10nm-based chips back in 2015-16 with Cannon Lake but that didn't happen. However, 10nm yields are finally improving says Intel at its Q2 2021 earnings call.
Samsung Electronics has revealed that its production ramp-up of 10nm FinFET chips is on track, and has a high yield. 70,000 silicon wafers have been shipped since mass production began last October.
Samsung has confirmed today that it has started mass-producing 10nm chips, to be used in upcoming devices like the Galaxy S8. Samsung is also rumored to be manufacturing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 830.
Samsung will be building Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 830 chips, with the South Korean giant expected to utilize the SoC in its own Galaxy S8 flagship. This follows established historical trends.
Samsung is likely working on its next-generation mobile chip, which is supposedly built on a 10nm FinFET process and is currently hitting speeds of 4Ghz in tests, outperforming the Snapdragon 830.
