Ngemuva nje kokuthi i-chipmaker yaseTaiwan i-TSMC imemezele ukuthi izoba namaprosesa angu-5nm alungile ngonyaka ozayo, manje inkampani imemezele ukuthi isiqalile ukukhiqiza ngobuningi inqubo yayo yesizukulwane sesibili i-7nm +.
Inqubo ye-7nm+ ithatha izintambo kubuchwepheshe be-7nm obusetshenziswa kuma-chipset ahamba phambili amanje njengeKirin 980, Bionic A12 kanye I-Snapdragon 855.
Inkampani isebenzisa i I-lithograph ye-EUV okokuqala ekukhiqizweni. Lokhu kuyinkimbinkimbi futhi kuthuthukile kunalokho okusetshenziswa njengamanje kuma-processor wokusebenza okuphezulu. (Thola: Amaprosesa enza kahle kakhulu ama-Smartphones, ngokusho kukaMaster Lu)
I-Huawei Kirin 980 7nm ngokuningiliziwe
Inqubo ye-7nm+ izosetshenziswa ku-chipset yesizukulwane esilandelayo se-Apple A13, kanye ne-Huawei's Kirin 985, ezokwethulwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka, njenge-Apple. Ingase futhi isetshenziswe esikhundleni se-SD855 yamanje ye-Qualcomm.
Ekuthuthukisweni kwakamuva, imibiko eminingana yakusho lokho I-TSMC izoqhubeka nokuhlinzeka izingxenye kuHuawei zeKirin 985 ezayo ezosetshenziswa kufayela le- Umlingani 30 nakuma-flagship alandelayo, abalandela lokhu abasuka enkampanini yaseChina. Lokhu kuqinisekisiwe, phakathi kwengcindezi evela kuhulumeni wase-United States kozakwethu bokuduba ubuchwepheshe bukaHuawei.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, njengoba silunguza ekuqaleni, inkampani futhi isiqalile ukukhiqizwa kokuqala kwenqubo ye-5nm SoC's ngobuchwepheshe be-EUV. Ukukhiqizwa kweMisa kulindeleke ukuthi kuqale ku-Q2020 5, ngakho-ke maphakathi nonyaka ozayo kufanele siqale ukubona ama-chipsets we-2020nm TSMC emakethe, cishe ngoJuni XNUMX.
Ngenxa yalokhu kuhamba, kusobala ukuthi Inkampani yaseTaiwan ihlela ukuqhubeka nokuhlala inketho enkulu engakhetha phakathi kwabakhiqizi be-chipset ukuthuthukisa ama-processor ayo ama-Smartphones. I-Qualcomm, iHuawei ne-Apple zintathu zazo.
