    AnonD-393038, 27 Jun 2015Actually Taiwan is independent of ChinaWrong.

    Taiwan still part of China. When old China ruling government Kuomingtang retreated to Taiwan province when they have lost China Civil War in 1949, they have never announce their independence. Even if Taiwan wanted, no other countries will support or agree to it. No United Nation, Soviet Union, Russia, US, Japan, German and so on will support Taiwan for Independence. The End!

              Anonymous, 27 Jun 2015you forgot the apple Ax, apple designs the best mobile chipsA8 chip having frequency of 1.5GHZ. But here, we are talking about 3GHZ frequency which Apple will take decades to achieve with their slow technology adoption rate.

                        I'll put my money on Samsung 14nm FINFET.
                        Anything from Taiwan of China TSMC, I'll stay far far away

                            So the new "SnapSung" or "SamDragon" chip will not have over heating problems even though it will run at a higher speed??

                                  Hey guys, this SoC SD820, is customization of ARMv8 architecture. As you know that Qualcomm will do the design and give it to another company to manufacture the chips (Taiwan semiconductors manufacturing company). So for Qualcomm, it is possible to make its ARMv8 customization for SD820 SoC, either like Samsung technology ( 14nm) or like TSMC technology( 16nm). The latter 2 companies, unlike Qualcomm, manufacture their own designs in addition to designs made by other companies ( Qualcomm is fabless ).
