While Apple tried to refuse to cooperate with Samsung in the lithographic production, the relationship between companies will last at least until 2015. According to Taiwanese publication, Samsung entered into a contract to supply Apple processors for smartphones sample in 2015, which will be produced by 14/16-nm technology.
TSMC Company, which will be a major manufacturer of processors with topological 20 nm for smartphones in 2014, will share the orders with Samsung. More precisely, the latter get 30-40% of the volume, while TSMC receive up to 70%.
It is noteworthy that TSMC for the production of processors Apple uses a c16-nm technology, and Samsung will rely on 14 nm. In both cases, FinFET transistors are applied .
