SAN FRANCISCO--Samsung touted its new 32-nm high-k metal gate (HKMG) process at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference here Tuesday (Feb. 21), showing features it hopes might win customers over from a supply constrained TSMC.
While ostensibly presenting its upcoming 32-nm quad-core mobile processor, Samsung spent much of the time presenting its new process, which as well as boasting HKMG, also uses dynamic thermal management and body bias techniques, for a significant 40 percent performance increase over its 45-nm Exynos chip.
