Rumor: the Snapdragon 895 will be fabbed on 4nm Samsung node, the 895+ on 4nm TSMC node

05 July 2021
Leakster IceUniverse says that Qualcomm will split the orders between the two foundries. The Snapdragon 888+ stuck with Samsung.

    I'd take a big die core at 13nm over a maggot V6 over V12 at 11nm will destroy it.

      Samsung GAAFET 3nm 225 MTr/mm² vs TSMC FinFET 291 MTr/mm² would be interesting

        3nm Samsung GAAFET transistors will be up 30% in performance and 50% less power, also 80% higher transistor dens

          samsung foundary seems to have included bacteria inside compared to tmsc which is chip production meant to be.

            Anonymous, 05 Jul 2021Sorry. 3nm is to wait for. No big gain with 4nmSome rumors said 4nm is just a marketing name and that it's only a "refined" 5nm process in reality.

              A15 will be N5P

              N4 besides being just a denser N5, is not even in risk production yet!

                      But Apple cpu throttles the worst along with Exynos from Samsung

                              Always buy phones with Snapdragon CPU. Others will disappoint you.

                                So then the 895+ will be a massive upgrade

                                  eddy-, 05 Jul 2021From 4nm there won't be much yearly improvementsWell you can only go so small. I don't think anything below 3nm will be possible as you need a certain amount of space really. To be honest, anything over 2.5 ghz is more than quick enough really. I just think that they are running out of ideas for differentiation. The whole mobile phone sector is coming to a pivotal point really. The form factor limits the scope of innovation and I can't see this as the type of industry that will not hit a ceiling.

                                    week old news. what no one knows for sure is, will the 895 line be full V9 or not. some have speculated on a transition type architecture, where it might be using only some V9 specs. I hope its full native V9, if not, ill wait for 3, because 3nm is certain to be V9 for sure.

                                        Performance on a14 exactly goes half with thermal throttling. Thanx to Trillion dollar company cheapening out on cooling
