Globalfoundries unveils major process improvements at 7nm finfet
Table of contents:
GlobalFoundries is one of the most important foundries in the semiconductor world, so it does not stop investing in new manufacturing processes. The company has detailed all the improvements that its advanced node at 7 nm LP will offer.
GlobalFoundries' 7nm promise big improvements in new processors
The new 7nm LP process from GlobalFoundries will be the one used by the third generation AMD Ryzen processors, which will not hit the market until next year if there are no delays. This new process will offer a performance 40% higher than its current node at 14 nm, at the same time, energy consumption will be reduced by 60%. These are very ambitious figures, so it will be necessary to see if they are actually met or if part of the improvement is left behind.

This new node at 7 nm LP will allow to reduce the size of the chips to a great extent, up to 2.7 times smaller, which will allow architects to integrate many more transistors in the same space. With this perhaps it is possible that the third generation Ryzen include six cores in each CCX complex, which would give twelve cores on a single chip.
GlobalFoundries recently stated that this new manufacturing process will allow frequencies of up to 5 GHz to be achieved, which would be one of the most important reasons for such an improvement in performance offered by the new processors. Of course, AMD will not be the only company to use this new manufacturing process, hopefully a large number of processors for smartphones and tablets will also live.
