Samsung to manufacture all Snapdragon 875 chipsets

14 September 2020
The order by Qualcomm is for over KRW1 trillion, which equals to about $850 million.

5nm vs 28nm, the Arm A15 cortex with 4 times bigger Die ,core kicks even the S875 out off water.

          dude111, 16 Sep 2020So your only metric to say one node is better than other is... moreI said different SoC manufacturers, not different fabrication companies.
          You understood it wrong.
          For example.
          8nm Exynos 9820's GPU was more efficient than 7nm Kirin 980's GPU(Kirin 980 had more efficient CPU though).
          That doesn't make Samsung's 8nm more efficient than TSMC's 7nm.
          This is because of different SoC design. Not for fabrication.
          This is why I said you can't use different manufacturer's SoC for fabrication quality comparison.

            Easy. nvidia is acquiring ARM which literally every SoC manufacturer is using, and samsung does supply chips for nvidia so it would be rational for qualcomm to turn to samsung for chips since they're in a deal with nvidia.

                      I provided a link with information about efficiency for you to understand why I said we may see an efficiency regression, meanwhile you just keep denying it and show no other data.

                        Why debating which node is better ? All chipset will be build according Qualcomm blueprint. So it mean samsung can provide the requirement that Qualcomm need. Or all least some compromised will not affect the perfomance for the chipset

                          dude111, 15 Sep 2020Actually 16nm FF from TSMC was slightly better than Samsung... more14nm Samung node's transistor density is 32.9
                          and TSMC node's transistor density was 28.8 , So that makes Samsung's node better.
                          You can't compare different manufacturers SoC for node efficiency.
                          Apple and Exynos CPU(until exynos 9810) was always very efficient. But Apple was crazy powerful even being efficient.
                          Same is for 8nm, 10nm and 20nm node.
                          TSMC actually turned up with 7nm process.
                          TSMC's 5nm process is better too.

                            Although I learned something. I thought the 765g had a77 cores. So only exynos 980 gets the newer cpu cores.
                            But both perform overall to similar to really notice anything. With a small cpu and ux lead for exy and small gpu lead for snap.

                                    Samsung had some 20nm (still planar) SoC but i'm not sure if those are comparable to snapdragon 810 (I don't remember if Exynos 5xxx were using A15 or A57 at similar clocks) or if there are any metric whatsoever to retrieve that data besides Anandtech's articles from that era (without SPEC)

                                    About 28/32 and above probably were but, I don't think is relevant to discussion considering that no SoC has been manufactured in that process since 2013.

                                      Samsung's processes are behind TSMC's. That's a fact.

                                      "I had mentioned that the 7LPP process is quite a wildcard in the comparisons here. Luckily, I’ve been able to get my hands on a Snapdragon 765G, another SoC that’s manufactured on Samsung’s EUV process. It’s also quite a nice comparison as we’re able to compare that chip’s performance A76 cores at 2.4GHz to the middle A76 cores of the Exynos 990 which run at 2.5GHz. Performance and power between the two chips here pretty much match each other, and a clearly worse than other TSMC A76-based SoCs, especially the Kirin 990’s. The only conclusion here is that Samsung’s 7LPP node is quite behind TSMC’s N7/N7P/N7+ nodes when it comes to power efficiency – anywhere from 20 to 30%."
