Apple, Huawei Use TSMC, But Their 7nm SoCs Are Different
By Illumi Huang, EETimes (January 22, 2020)
Most SoCs in 2019 use 7nm process technologies. But at a closer look, everyone’s 7nm – used in smartphone SoCs or even PC CPUs – seems somewhat different.
When talking about the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, it seems that most of the SoCs in 2019 can be collectively classified as 7nm. But not all 7nm is equal. We summarize some of the more popular SoCs today. The process used by these SoCs is as follows:
