Samsung strikes a deal with Apple to manufacture 7nm A12 chipsets

18 July 2017
The 2018 iPhone will be the first in five years with a Samsung-built chipset.

Sort by:

7nm is quite a crazy indeed.

    Wow, future is here, and is brought by Samsung, 7nm is a almost treshold for Moore's law limits (supposed to be 5nm) which was set for over 50 years ago, living in exciting times my geeks :)

                Is it Samsung strike a deal with Apple or Apple strike a deal with Samsung? Apple is the one want the use of Samsung in building their chip as they are one of the best if not the best in chip manufacturing. And what the big talk for about Samsung building components for Apple? It's just five years ago out of Apple ten years in the phone business Samsung stop building components for Apple. If it's not Samsung building components for Apple, it's another from the Far East. Apple built nothing. They take pieces of other people/company designs and put them together and call it their own. No surprise here

                  Mkdc, 18 Jul 2017if i were you, i'd go on google (or bing or yahoo or baidu ... morerectification most valued company on stock exchange and market value ( basically those are public company ) there is business thats are much richer than Apple ( big business thats own stock in many many company ) those are not public so you just dont know about them.
