            Apple A9

            Samsung 14nm
            TSMC 16nm

            But samsung chip suffer bad battery life...?

            Another drama by Apple to makes Samsung looks bad

              so, Apple DID scold Samsung for that difference... Apple is very smart, placing all their eggs in one basket so that when inevitably things go wrong, they will ONCE AGAIN go running to Samsung to put out their 'fires'... Every week, Apple is continuously showing the douche company they are... Samsung will survive... 😂

                Apple A9

                Samsung 14nm
                TSMC 16nm

                Samsung chip problematic...? Worst batery life...?
                Suddenly TSMC came out with 10nm technology

                Or it is just to drama to make samsung looks bad

                    No way one manufacturer can keep up with the demand. It's gonna be TSMC and somebody else, whether that is Samsung or not is a different story

                        We've yet to see a Kirin 950 SoC with 6GB RAM or a Snapdragon 830 up to 8GB RAM (or at least over 4GB) that Apple could only wetdream of

                            harlekkin, 11 Feb 2016Yeah, they are the same because... well... stealing means t... moreI know that Samsung is under inspection for stealing knowledge, the point however was that neither TSMC or Samsung has a real superior lead (except Intel). Samsung won the race to 14/16nm, but this time maybe TSMC is faster.

In fact it was revealed by ex-TSMC employee who came to work with samsung. If your opponent's secret is already in front of your face would you use it for your own good? That is why the one who is guilty and punished is the ex-TSMC guy and not samsung. Duh

                                  Thats because Samsung won't have production capacity to spare for Apple as the S7 is expected to sell in bucket loads.

                                    Oh Boy, 10nm quite interesting.

                                      Shamesung ; what are you going to steal next and from whom? Have some shame, will you?

                                        AnonD-455738, 11 Feb 2016Why does this matter if TSMC is first to 10nm? Not saying i... moreYeah, they are the same because... well... stealing means they used TSMC's IP. Why do I need to explain this?!

                                        Of course, having knowledge of an older process will potentially help evolve said process further.
