The situation between Apple and Samsung is interesting to say the least. On the one hand, these two companies are suing each other, on the other hand, Samsung is today the main supplier of pre chips iPhone and iPads. But it looks like this is over. The latest information says that the production of processors Apple The A8 will be completely covered by TSMC, which will manufacture them using a 20-nanometer manufacturing process.
According to information, Samsung is said to have a problem with the production of new chips, resulting in a small number of chips produced. Prothe problem occurred even after it was supposed to Apple first, Samsung plans to make 30 to 50% of all A8 chips that will appear in this year's iPhone and iPads. TSMC is doing significantly better with production and that's why Apple decided to withdraw from the contract with Samsung, which thus remains only a manufacturer of displays and processors Apple A7 and other compsonentov. Sources also say that the smaller manufacturing process makes TSMC's chip production the fastest it's ever been. It means that iPhone 6 to iPad Air The 2nd generation will be the first devices to have processors exclusively from TSMC. But in the future Apple miniwill almost return to Samsung once more. According to certain information, they have processors Apple A9 to produce with the help of two different production processes. TSMC is expected to manufacture the A9 chips using a 16-nm process, while Samsung will use a 14-nm FinFET process.
