Qualcomm is preparing three more SoC mid-range and entry-level platforms for 2018 - Snapdragon 670, Snapdragon 640 and Snapdragon 460. The specs of the chips have been leaked.
Qualcomm recently announced its Snapdragon 845 CPU at a launch event in Hawaii. At the event, Qualcomm had a lot to say about the "Always Connected PCs" running Windows 10 on the ARM architecture. Chromebooks may also be able to take advantage.
Samsung is said to be moving on from 7nm chipset development in favor of 6nm. Despite this change, Samsung is still eyeing the Snapdragon 845 for use in the Samsung Galaxy S9.
Qualcomm has announced the latest 600-series Snapdragon chipsets known as the Snapdragon 660 and Snapdragon 630. The chipsets offer faster LTE, better battery life, and more.
Intel's upcoming 10nm mobile chipsets are said to be a generation ahead of Samsung and Qualcomm's. This is because Intel is using a hyper-scaling technique that allows them to fit twice as many transistors onto the same die size.
A report from South Korea suggests Samsung is currently working on 7nm technology for SoCs. This would result in lower power consumption and improved performance. The company supposedly targets an early 2018 timeline to start mass production.
Samsung is trying to push the boundary of chipset performance. The company is reportedly testing an Exynos chip that can reach clock speeds of up to 4GHz. The chipset is based on a 10nm process and is believed to be an Exynos 8895.
ARM has detailed the new Egil video processor that can be used in ARM-based chipsets. The processor supports multi-core functionality, so apps that need to encode and decode video -- like video chat apps -- can function better. One of the notable additions not found in the current Mali-V550...
Samsung is said to be heavily investing in their chip-making business to try and keep up with the top manufacturer TSMC. The move includes the purchase of the latest extreme ultraviolet equipment for mass production of its 7-nanometer process.
Samsung has announced their 3rd-generation 14nm FinFET manufacturing process for chipsets. The new process eliminates more masks from the circuit board, which means it uses less power while also being less expensive. This leads to better battery life and cheaper devices.
