Intel’s 10nm Chips Will Be Better and Cheaper than Any Other Chip Manufacturers

Samsung is now having a good time for their newly revealed Samsung Galaxy S8 and other newly launched products. Intel is now setting up a rivalry with the Korean company regarding with their chips. Intel advertised that their upcoming 10-nanometer chips are way much cheaper and better than Samsung and every other chip manufacturers.

According to EE Times, Intel claimed that their 10-nanometer chips were made to have 2.7 times the transistor density of the previous generation; Intel will pack 100.8 million transistors per square millimeter. This will be on standard calibration where the number of transistors on every chip doubles every two years.

If ever Intel will be successful in putting more transistors on a chip, they can indeed grab the throne of having the fastest chip on the planet. This chip requires less material to make smaller transistors, thus the price of the chip also goes down by as much as 30 percent. By this, Intel will proudly manufacture faster, smaller, and cheaper chips as the company shifts from one generation to another.

Apart from Samsung, Global Foundries and TSMC are the two major chip manufacturers including AMD and Qualcomm, companies who make partners with them to produce chips. These companies made the action to produce 10nm chips before Intel. According to Venture Beat, TSMC and Samsung chips will only have around half of the density of Intel's 10nm chips. Samsung Company has already made its 10nm processor packed with the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S8 in which it is powered by the 10nm Snapdragon 835 processor.

Intel is now calling for the industry to develop the standard measurement as proven by Gordon Moore; the Moore' Law where he limits the increase of transistors into two which the company has proven to be breakable. However, Intel insists that the development of their chips should depend on the advances in technology, especially in the industry and not on Moore's Law.
