Samsung Reaches Milestone For 14nm Technology

An anonymous reader writes "Samsung announced a milestone on its development of 14nm manufacturing semiconductors, claiming that it offers major advantages to system-on-chip devices using in consumer electronic products (especially lower power). They recently taped out a Cortex-A7 processor with this technology, calling it a significant milestone for the fabless ecosystem."

Better than Intel

I'm tired of what's been going on pretty much since the IC was invented. Intel is king and has a stockpile of 30 years worth of technology that it can put into production at relatively short notice.

Each time someone like AMD turns up the heat on Intel they say "No, lets skip this box of technology we made ready for ourselves back in the day and move straight onto the next one, no harm done." then when the competition is stumbling they say "We'll see how long we can get away with selling the current stuff, then we'll open the next box and sell it way overpriced". Fcuk it Intel probably have the processors that are 'coming out' in 2017 already laying on a shelf in a warehouse somewhere by the millions.

Seriously people...please stop introducing Apple into every fucking conversation. The whole "they'll sue you for this and that" thing is getting really fucking old. It's not original. Yes, we know they are litigious. Get over it and move on with your life.
