Samsung First with 14nm FinFET Mass Production

It looks like Samsung beat TSMC to the punch by being the first to announce the mass production of their 14nm FinFET process technology.

The first chip to use this will be the Exynos 7 Octa, but the process will be expanded to other products throughout the year. The Exynos 7 Octa will most likely be used in the Samsung Galaxy S6 flagship and the SoC is composed of an ARM Cortex-A57 with the A53 and Mali-T760 GPU.

Samsung’s press release promises some great figures with 20% increased clock speed and a 35% decrease in power consumption.
