Samsung to Fab AMD "Zen" and "Arctic Islands" on its 14 nm FinFET Node

but still sentt a christmas card.

Wasn't there Samsung debacle with iPhone chips though? I.e. that Samsung 14nm chips were consuming more than TSMC 16nm?

That's what I was referencing back in post #36 when I answered the same post. Samsung's A9 chip is smaller, but performs slightly worse, uses more power (battery life 20% lower), and runs hotter than TSMC's 16nmFF A9

midnightoil seems to be a veritable goldmine of misinformation. I'm still waiting on the proofs for his claims.

however, Samsung made Apple A9 on their 1st generation 14nm FinFET, whereas they are going to produce AMD chips on their just launched 2nd generation 14nm LPP FinFET.

It is still a like-for-like comparison, since the A9 using Samsung's first-generation 14nm LPE is being compared with the A9 using TSMC's first-generation 16nmFF (not FF+).
