Yesterday it was announced that Intel is just to be the first who will be able to release an ARM SoC with 14-nm FinFET.
Thus, ARM announced the successful collaboration on the development of semiconductor devices using FinFET with IBM, Global Foundries and Samsung (Group Common Platform Alliance) and by TSMC companies, which uses a somewhat different from the CPA process technologies.
TSMC company with ARM is working on bringing to the stage a test release solutions based on 16-nm FinFET process technology. In fact, this will be the first 64-bit processor cores ARM Cortex-A57. The source did not specify whether the decision is embodied in the silicon chip in the form of a trial. Most likely, TSMC is going to start mass production of 16-nm FinFET-making in the first quarter of 2015. Around the same time, Samsung will begin mass production of semiconductors using 14-nm FinFET. Solutions based on 64-bit core ARM Cortex-A53 Intel will start producing in the first quarter of 2014 - a year and a half earlier TSMC and Samsung companies.
Finally, some surprise was the announcement that ARM company together with one of its partners has on hand a digital 10-nm design solutions using FinFET. This partner can be one of the aforementioned manufacturers, including Intel. Related Products :
