Samsung says it has finished its development of an 8nm process for foundry.
The 8nm process is a straight shrink from the 10nm process which delivers 10% more dendity with 10% less power.
The 8nm process is a low-power plus (LPP) process acting as a half-node interim process between Samsung’s 10nm and 7nm process.
7nm is scheduled for next year.
Qualcomm is to use Samsung’s 8nm process for its Snapdragon processors.
