Xiaomi will release the trust TSMC 16-nm chips Surge S2



Xiaomi доверит TSMC выпуск 16-нм чипов Surge S2

In the beginning of the year, Xiaomi released a processor branded Surge S1 and the first smartphone based on it — Xiaomi Mi 5c. Chipset shows good for its class performance, but not the most advanced 28-nanometer process technology had an impact on the heat load. The company will eliminate this disadvantage in the new generation of platform Surge S2, which will be produced in 16-nanometer process by TSMC.

What is known

As reported by insiders, the Surge S2 design completed and start production at the facilities of TSMC is scheduled for the third quarter of 2017. On the characteristics of the processor, alas, no information. The Taiwanese partner already produces 10-nanometer chips for Apple A11 8 iPhone, but Xiaomi did not move to the more subtle rules. Most likely, this is not so much the workload TSMC because of the large order as the high cost solutions.

Smartphone Surge S2 will be submitted in the fourth quarter. It will probably be the Xiaomi Mi Mi 6s or 6c.

PS Sometimes debut Xiaomi processor called Pinecone Surge S1, as its development involved a subdivision of the Pinecone (similar to HiSilicon at Huawei, creating chips Kirin).
