Information about Samsung starting to produce 3 nanometer processors was recorded on the company's official website. In addition, Samsung also talked about the advantages of the 3 nanometer technological process. 3nm processors will be more compact and more powerful than previous processors. Besides, they will have less energy consumption. According to the company, despite the fact that the areas of the new generation processors are 16% smaller than the 5 nanometer processors, their performance will increase by 23%, and energy efficiency will increase by 45%. The transistor architecture called Gate-all-round (GAA) will be used in the production of such processors.
The commercial name of the transistor architecture in question is Multi-Bridge-Channel FET (MBCFET). In addition, it was mentioned in the information that the preparation of the second generation processors, which will be based on the 3 nanometer technological process, has already been started. Areas of second-generation 3-nanometer processors will be 35% smaller. However, unlike the first-generation 3-nanometer processors, the performance of the second-generation 3-nanometer processors will increase by 30%, and the energy efficiency will increase by 50%. Samsung did not provide information about who ordered the 3-nanometer processors first. According to some reports, Qualcomm may order large-scale 3-nanometer circuits for the creation of new generation Snapdragon processors.
