those are some good morning news, and would be much better when they translate into a cost cut....fat chance HA HA:D EUV at 80% yield, and still got almost 8 month to perfect it. i will take it as a good news and hope for the best at this point.

With the increasing complexity of the process, it's getting more expensive too. I doubt it will get more cheap from now on, but at least the performance will keep improving. Can't wait for GPU's and CPU's to move again (CPU's finally, as Intel have been at snail pace).

I'm not really a smartphone enthusiast, always pushing purchasing a new phone as far as I can and only going for mid-range phones, so these news aren't of particular interest to me. If they can develop the process further from low power to high power PC/server grade component manufacturing, then sure. Intel has been so busy only developing its stock owners' wallets that somebody else needs to pick up the slack.

Progress is good. I am eagerly awaiting GloFlo and AMD to announce they are able to mass produce 7nm chips.

It does not just affect mobile chips, AMD also gonna benefit from 7nm EUV technology because of the alliance of SAMSUNG, IBM, GLOBAL FOUNDRIES and AMD.

very interesting to me - the 11nm process that is. to me it smacks of either a fall-back position (if 7nm process is not as advanced as claimed) or more likely, a big "buy me" sign to Nvidia as they are behind on the process front. 11nm would allow them to salvage more yield from Volta, while keeping its power draw in line. in any case AMD and Intel are doing fine on the smaller process. 7nm is fully on track for navi, ryzen 2, Intel 9th gen, Samsung, Crucial, and Toshiba.
