Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 is 10nm

7nm is next year

The flagship SoCs are as good as the leading-edge process and Fudzilla can now confirm that Snapdragon 845 SoC, the one that is likely to be presented this year, will be made on 10nm FinFET manufacturing process.

Our sources believe that Samsung FAB is behind the SoC and as some of you know it is simple too early for 7nm. We expect to see 7nm solutions from everyone by the end of the next year. You do know that Apple is pushing fabs to get the latest and greatest manufacturing process and A11 is also 10nm, so that is as good as it gets, at least in late 2017 / early 2018.

Traditionally, Qualcomm announces its flagship chips in the late part of the year and by that time, it is ready to ship it to its customers. Samsung S8 was the first with the Snapdragon 835 and we expect to see the upcoming Galaxy S9 featuring the Snapdragon 845 SoC. Of course, there is no confirmation on the 845 name, but media colleagues decided to use it and we are just playing along.
