Samsung working on 11nm and 7nm process chipsets for 2018

Samsung has announced that it will be producing 11nm chips for their next generation high-end and mid-range phones. This 11-nanometer FinFET process technology is a Low Power Plus (LPP) process that is a scaled down version of the earlier 14nm LPP process used in Snapdragon 625 and 630.
Samsung has already used the 10nm FinFET process for its Exynos 9 series mobile processors. But, it has been used only in premium flagship smartphones. Now, the company expects the new 11nm process will bridge the gap between mid-range to high-end smartphones.
It is to be noted that the chip area will be reduced by 10% in comparison to the 14nm process. Which means the manufacturing cost of chips will fall and so it can be added into mid-range devices also. The new 11nm technology promises up to 15% boost in performance with the same power usage as the 14nm process. The first 11nm chipsets are to come out in the first half of 2018.
Moreover, the premium phones from Samsung next year will be using the new 7nm LPP chips that are built with Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) lithography.

HTC Desire 20 Pro certifications When the phones eventually arrive, they will be a follow-up of the Desire 19 lineup that brought us the Desire 19s and Desire 19+ . Both of them had unimpressive Helio chipsets (respectively P22 and P35) and the main camera was 13 MP f/1.9 with PDAF on both of them. Hopefully, this year’s Desire lineup will get in line with the current trends and introduce big batteries, fast charging, and better cameras if HTC w...
