ARM Process Roadmap Leaked - 10nm Volume Production Begins Late 2022

The folks over at Overclockers.ru released the roadmap of ARM which shows the process schedule till 2022. The picture show states that the values given are indicative of when book production of that item procedure will begin. An interesting thing to annotation in the roadmap is that ARM will skip 20nm on all applicable platforms except 'Premium Mobile' which refers to the high end Mobile Manufacture (duh) and is already in effect. ` ARM Process Roadmap

ARM volition jump directly to 16nm FinFET+ Process on most platforms, 10nm in 2H 2022

The leading process in ARM fries is ofcourse the high finish mobile segment, where one of the major driving forces is the bully Apple itself. According to the roadmap the engineering samples of all process will be bachelor 9-12 months prior to volume product. This would mean that we should come across starting time samples of 10nm ARM fries in early on 2022. Basically, Servers & Networking, Wearables & (General) Consumer, and Mainstream Mobile will shift directly from 28nm Process to the 16nm/14nm process directly. Embedded ARM applications won't arrive to 28nm till 2022 so that i isn't mentioned merely I assume it will shift directly to 16nm FinFet too. The simply reason high end mobile didn't do so is because the market place need is too high and companies like Apple pay alot for the slightest edge.

We already know that TSMC has taped out Cortex A57 dies (big.Picayune chip implementation) on the 16nm ~~BobaFET~~ (excuse this awesome Bobafet joke),eh, FinFET node. And then this roadmap is conspicuously on rails and will hopefully remain and then unless ARM decides to follow Intel's scheduling philosophies besides. ARM roadmap is usually not in whatsoever manner related to the loftier performance ASICs (GPUs) but it certainly provides a hint every bit to the capability of TSMC. There has been (very) idle speculation that the Crimson and Green GPUs are actually going to exist be based on the 16nm FinFET process instead of the 20nm and then that they grab up with lost mileage of Moores Law, but to be honest, at the current state of affairs, it would accept at-to the lowest degree a year before the node becomes mature plenty for whatever kind of high performance ASIC work.
