OAKLAND, Calif. – Just days after it was confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S6 uses an Exynos processor made in Samsung's 14nm FinFET process, a Samsung executive talked about the company's road to 14nm. The milestone was a huge one for the Krean giant, beating rival TSMC to become the second chip maker after Intel to ship a 14nm FinFET chip.
“I think competition is healthy, it pushes everyone to achieve their limits – either from a technology angle, execution, or the ability to deliver service levels,” Kelvin Low, senior director of foundry marketing for Samsung Semiconductor, told EE Times.
