Qualcomm’s first 5G chips will be manufactured by Samsung’s help

5G

Qualcomm has revealed its plans for 5G-enabled chipsets for coming years in a blog post yesterday. And guess what Qualcomm will be taking a little help from Samsung to built these chipsets. Using the South Korean giant’s 7nm fabrication process, Qualcomm will enable its next-generation Snapdragon chipsets with 5G technology in coming years.


Qualcomm has partnered with Samsung to work on next-generation chipsets that will work on Samsung’ 7nm node, which is the most innovative work done under extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Samsung firstly introduced its 7nm EUV lithography process last year, claiming that the process will break “the barriers of Moore’s law scaling”.
Qualcomm, the US chip giant is popular for contract chip-making businesses with other market leaders like Samsung. According to an official statement by Qualcomm’s vice president Charlie Bae,
“We are excited to lead the 5G mobile industry together with Samsung. Using 7nm LPP EUV, our new generation of Snapdragon 5G mobile chipsets will take advantage of the process improvements and advanced chip design to improve the user experience of future devices.”
The EUV lithographic technique offers a 40 percent boost in efficiency, a 10 percent increase in performance, and a 30 percent reduction in power consumption, as compared to the 10nm FinFET chips. Where Snapdragon 845 is already a high-performing chip, so you can imagine that when this technology will be featured in Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon chipsets, it will make them insanely fast.
Meanwhile, Samsung is also happy with the expansion of its foundry relationship with Qualcomm, as their senior vice president, RK Chunduru says,
“We are excited to lead the 5G mobile industry together with Samsung. Using 7nm LPP EUV, our new generation of Snapdragon 5G mobile chipsets will take advantage of the process improvements and advanced chip design to improve the user experience of future devices.”


This means that 5G mobile chipsets will have smaller silicon footprints without reducing the number of transistors. Meanwhile, the next-generation 5G networks are soon going to be a reality as the specifications of tech has been approved.

The upgraded Google News app is now available on iOS and Android

One of the more intriguing announcements at Google IO 2018 was of  a new Google News app  to take the place of the Google Play NewsStand, which was initially launched in 2013.  After describing the new Google News app  in a dedicated page for the app on its website, Google has now officially released the app on the  App Store  and  Google Play . Google Play NewsStand was used as a resource to get news around the world. The news would be of every category, even the news which doesn’t interest the user. Whereas with this new Google news app, the artificial intelligence of Google shows you the news you want to see, which you usually search for on Google. According to Google , the Google News app now  “uses a new set of AI techniques to take a constant flow of information as it hits the web, analyze it in real time and organize it into storylines.”  Artificial intelligence(AI) gives the app an ability to process and sort the news from...
