With Qualcomm and Samsung partnered and also launched two SoC with SD835 and SD845 SoC which was based on Samsung 10nm FinFET process.Earlier we had few rumors of Qualcomm had partnered with TSMC to built new 7nm process SoC for the upcoming SD855 as Samsung was still far behind under the new 7nm process development.
Now, we have a new twist in the tale as Samsung has achieved the goal of 7nm development six months earlier than expected and there are strong rumors of Qualcomm might again come back to Samsung for manufacturing the new 7nm based SD855 SoC.
As per the source, Samsung has already finished the development of the 7nm chip which is based on EUV process.As per the same source, Qualcomm is now preparing to send the samples of the upcoming SoC to Samsung for further development.
Samsung has also launched a dedicated production line to develop the 5nm process chipset in South Korea to tackle the with TSMC.As per reports from Seol Economy, Samsung is ready with 10 production line specifically to manufacture the upcoming SD855 SoC.Samsung will also manufacture 7nm based 5G modems for Qualcomm.
Now we have to wait for Qualcomm decision whether it will move back to Samsung or will keep the deal with both TSMC and Samsung.Qualcomm upcoming chipset SD855 will not hit the markets anytime sooner than 2019.
