Samsung plans 4nm foundry for 2020
..it will commercialise its 8-nano process later this year. The 7-nano process will appear next year and 6-nano and will be ready in 2019..
The 5-nano LPP, which is planned to be commercialised in 2019 along with 6-nano LPP, will be the last micro process that can be implemented through FinFET...
I've always "guessed" that 3nm might be the end for current silicon semiconductors. But, I also believe there's a good chance time will prove me wrong
As previously noted, AMD plans to jump from their current 14nm products to 7nm (skipping 10nm). Samsung's plans seem to indicate AMD's plan is quite feasible (anyone for 64core/128thread enthusiast CPUs ? ).
