The next generation of iPhone chips is "Samsung"?

Recently, the message personage discloses to Recode, Apple's next generation A9 processor will be back by Samsung supply. Last year, apple is not easy for the iPhone 6 A8 processor chip to find suitable suppliers: TSMC, and said A series processors of the future will be mainly by TSMC supply. But so far, the manufacturing process of Mihoshi Katsuchi's chip, seems to make apple "change of heart".

Apple, Samsung two "frenemies" state has continued for many years, the two sides once because of patent issues in court, but in the chip business and cooperative relations, Samsung has long been the apple A processor suppliers. Last year, the "apple to Samsung" had not the small progress, they will iPhone 6 A8 processor orders among the TSMC, to reduce dependence on samsung.

However, now the TSMC A8 processor chip power 20nm manufacturing process can not meet the next generation product demand. When R & D TSMC is expand the 16nm process chip, Samsung has to come up with using the 14nm processor chip manufacturing processes. Allegedly, Samsung 14nm chip can reduce energy consumption 20%, to extend the battery life of equipment 35%. Perhaps this is the apple A9 processor chip orders to Samsung reason.

The Recode report says, Samsung's new chip manufacturing process to bring no small pressure high. The message says, new products, Samsung to release in March, will use the Exynos processor family, instead of TSMC production high Xiao Long 810.

In fact, the past few days the Samsung released fourth quarter earnings can be seen in the chip business Samsung still have a solid strength. In the mobile phone business remains in the doldrums, the fourth quarter of 2014, Samsung's chip business operating profit rose 36%, to $2500000000. Over the past year, Samsung has invested about $21400000000 in the development of the semiconductor and display business, in 2015 they will invest more in this area.

Though Samsung who did not disclose their chip large customers, but a person familiar with the matter said the company is currently expanding production capacity, to meet the needs of the next generation of iPhone chips.
