Today, Samsung officially announced via its blog that it is ramping up production of chipsets manufactured using the 10nm process. Although Samsung isn't specific and we don't know which processors are involved, it's more than likely the Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 chipsets.
So far, Samsung has produced more than 70 silicon wafers, using the first generation 10nm manufacturing process, which is called LPE (Low Power Early). At the end of this year, the company should abandon this technology and the improved 10nm LPP process should go into production. The following year, however, the manufacturer is counting on the most advanced 10nm technology known as LPU.
Samsung is also preparing for modern chips produced with 8nm and 6nm production technologies, which will be more powerful and much less energy-intensive. To produce new generation chips, Samsung will use the knowledge gained during the production of "older" 10nm chipsets. Next informace and we won't know the exact schedule until May 24 at the Samsung Foundry Forum event held in the USA.
