On February 22, Beijing time, Qualcomm and Samsung almost simultaneously released press releases on their official websites (and both press releases are identical...), announcing that Qualcomm's 5G mobile processors will use Samsung's latest 7nm LPP EUV process technology.

Samsung's new 7nm process is called 7nm LPP (Low Power Plus) EUV (extreme ultra violet) process technology. Samsung has released 7LPP EUV technology in 2017. Compared with the 10nm FinFET process currently used in high-end SoC, Samsung 7PP EUV technology will bring 40% space utilization improvement, 10% performance improvement or 35% power consumption reduction.

Earlier, Qualcomm announced that the first generation of 7nm process SoC would be delivered to TSMC. It is reported that this is probably the flagship SoC of Qualcomm's next generation, Snapdragon 855 (estimated to use LTE baseband, that is, the just released X24 LTE Modem). In a short time, it announced that 5G era chips will use three-star 7nm LPP. Perhaps there is an enhanced version of Snapdragon 855 that uses 5G baseband? We can only wait until 2017 for Qualcomm to reveal these problems to us.
