Samsung Electronics has begun mass production of the Exynos 7 Octa, said to be the first mobile application processor to incorporate 14nm FinFET process technology.
"Samsung's advanced 14nm FinFET process technology is undoubtedly the most advanced logic process technology in the industry," claimed Gabsoo Han, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Samsung's System LSI Business. "We expect the production of our 14nm mobile application processor to positively impact the growth of the mobile industry by enabling further performance improvements for cutting-edge smartphones."
