Samsung Galaxy S6 is using the processor Exynos 7420, released using 14-nm process technology, has a mysterious label "ALB". Samsung's factory in the United States is located in Austin, Texas, while the factory of the company GlobalFoundries Fab 8 is located in the state of New York and is in a certain proximity to the city of Albany. Remains as an option, the processor Exynos 7420 is packed or even released at IBM, located near Albany.
The representative of GlobalFoundries company - Arab fund Mubadala - announced the start of commercial production of 14-nm-making at Fab 8, belonging to GlobalFoundries. Once again: GlobalFoundries company has started to supply 14-nanometer production to its customers.
This is a fairly significant event, although in GlobalFoundries it is not officially confirmed. Recall, GlobalFoundries company bought a license to 14 nm process (as well as a 20-nm) from Samsung company . About six months ago it was reported that GlobalFoundries has ceased to install new production equipment and forwards it to the warehouse.
