The First 5g Mobile Platform Will Be Launched At The End Of Qualcomm's 7 Nm Process Qualcomm.

Qualcomm, the cellphone chipmaker, confirmed yesterday that it was about to launch a new generation of high-end Snapdragon mobile platforms by the end of the year. Qualcomm Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm, announced that its flagship mobile platform would be a system single chip (SoC) with seven nanometer manufacturing nodes. It is expected that Qualcomm will soon launch a new platform, Snapdragon 855 platform, using TSMC 7 nanometer process.

Qualcomm said the 7-nanometer system chip could be combined with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X50 5G modem, and the product is expected to become the first mobile platform to support 5G functionality for top smartphones and other mobile devices. Qualcomm Technologies has begun sending samples of new flagship mobile platforms to several OEM manufacturers that are developing new consumer devices. With the launch of 5G services from telecom operators in the second half of 2018 to 2019, the upcoming platform will transform industries, create new business models and enhance consumer experience.

Qualcomm's president, Cristiano Amon, said Qualcomm, in collaboration with OEM manufacturers, operators, infrastructure providers and the Global Standards Organisation, is also helping launch the first 5G mobile hotspots by the end of 2018, while allowing smartphones with Qualcomm's new mobile platform to be launched in the first half of 2009. Qualcomm Technologies has been a leader in research and engineering for many years and will achieve a more innovative future in a variety of areas as 5G networking capabilities become more widespread.

Recently, the industry has announced that Lenovo will launch the world's first smartphone to support 5G, using Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor mobile platform, and mobile phone manufacturers including Samsung, millet will follow suit. It is understood that Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 has begun to be produced in TSMC with a 7-nm process, and will enter the mass production stage in the first half of next year. Cell phones carrying the chip are expected to be on sale in the second half of next year.

Qualcomm said the design of the 5G flagship mobile platform is aimed at achieving top-level connectivity devices, which will bring new intuitive experiences and interactive ways to provide terminal devices with built-in artificial intelligence, excellent battery endurance and good performance, driving the world into innovative technologies, solutions, experiences, and applications such as automobiles and the Internet of Things. .
