Samsung, TSMC battle 7nm process, which is confidence-TSMC, Samsung-IT information

IT information news on June 14, TSMC chairman Morris Chang said Samsung 7nm process process will become the company's main competitor, in 2017, the TSMC 7nm risk trial will take place in 2018 and official mass production.

Chang said that their advantage in technology than Samsung, will eventually 7nm victory in war. Although 7nm Intel processing chips, but they are their friends, not adversaries.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co-CEO Liu Deyin said at the company's annual Technology Forum held in May, 7nm TSMC process production 128MB SRAM has reached yield of 30% to 40%, will become the first 7nm process production of certified manufacturers.

TSMC 10nm process will take place in 2017 production, Apple this year, A10 is not used on the iPhone7 10nm using TSMC technology is the same as A9 14nm process, using chips made by more advanced technology is often more powerful and lower power consumption.

According to earlier reports, TSMC acquired a A10 processor of all orders, Samsung empty-handed.

三星、台积电决战7nm工艺，后者信心十足 - 台积电,三星 - IT资讯

IT资讯讯 6月14日消息，台积电董事长张忠谋近日表示，三星将成为该公司7nm工艺制程最主要的竞争对手，2017年开始，台积电将进行7nm芯片的风险试产，2018年将正式量产。

张忠谋表示，自家在技术上要比三星有优势，最终将在7nm技术大战中取得胜利。虽然Intel也考虑采用7nm工艺制造芯片，但他们是自己的朋友，而不是对手。

另外台积电联席CEO刘德音在5月举行的公司年度技术论坛上表示，台积电使用7nm制程生产的128MB SRAM已经达到30%至40%的良品率，将成为首家获得7nm制程生产认证的厂家。

台积电的10nm工艺将于2017年量产，苹果今年的iPhone7上使用的A10芯片不是采用台积电的10nm工艺就是跟A9一样的14nm工艺，使用更先进的工艺制造的芯片往往性能更强、功耗更低。

根据之前的报道，台积电获得了苹果A10处理器的所有订单，三星空手而归。
