Who is Using Samsung 14nm?
As I have mentioned before, there are very few secrets in Silicon Valley. Just last week I was minding my own business at a Starbucks when I overheard two engineers complaining about Samsung 14nm shuttles being delayed. They had badges on but I won’t out them because it could have easily been any of the fabless companies in Silicon Valley since just about all of them are working with Samsung this time around, even Apple.
Another good source on who is using what foundry at 14nm and 16nm is LinkedIn. If you are a premium member you can do advanced searches for the fabless company of choice with “14nm”, “16nm” or “FinFET” as key search terms. Good thing TSMC chose a different path and named it 16nm so we can get better search results. You will find Apple, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell, Nvidia, AMD, Cisco, LSI, Avago, Oracle, Freescale, Jupiter, SanDisk, etc… all of the leading edge fabless semiconductor companies.
