Samsung and arm announce important collaboration with 7/5 nm finfet

Samsung and ARM have announced an expansion of their collaboration with the advanced manufacturing process to 7/5 nm FinFET, allowing them to stay ahead of the competition in high-performance computing.

Samsung and ARM launch an important collaboration with the 7 and 5 nm FinFET of the South Korean firm

Samsung and ARM hope that this collaboration will lead them to start producing processors based on the ARM Cortex-A76 architecture that are capable of operating at more than 3GHz. Collaboration between Samsung and ARM in the fields of IP solutions is crucial to increase the power of high-performance computing and accelerate the growth of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning capabilities.

Both companies will take advantage of Samsung's 7nm Low Power Plus (7LPP) and 5nm Low Power Early (5LPE) process technologies. 7LPP should be ready for initial production in this second half of 2018. ARM will provide ARM Artisan's physical IP platform, which includes HD logical architecture, a complete set of memory compilers, and 1.8V and 3.3V GPIO libraries.

ARM and Samsung have collaborated on a large number of chips using Artisan's physical IP in Samsung's process technologies. Samsung's 7LPP and 5LPE nodes are innovative process technologies that will meet the needs of their mutual customers, from delivering the next generation of mobile data center SoCs to hyperscalar. ARM stated in May that it would bring Cortex-A76 notebooks to market in 2019 that can exceed 3GHz.

This important collaboration between Samsung and ARM should allow us to enjoy a new generation of mobile devices with greatly improved capabilities.
