Title: GloFo tests 7nm. We prolly shall see miners on this node next to next year. Post by: goxed on July 09, 2015, 11:30:38 AM It's no longer exclusively silicon transistors ay 7nm, its a Silicon Germanium channel x-istor..

Post by: jonnybravo0311 on July 09, 2015, 04:44:32 PM Just because IBM demonstrated it is possible to achieve a 7nm process doesn't mean it'll be here next year by any stretch of the imagination. I'd guess 2020 before 7nm is produced in a consumer chip. They've got to go through 10nm first.

What a joke well gaming industry don't need to push the processing so fast because many user are not running 10 x vga like in mining, and wasting energy for their instamining or fastmining or whatever so the gain in consumption would not be so distinguished, but i believe than can already do gpu at a lower productive processing if they desire to do it, especially amd..

Post by: Yan-Aquifer on July 15, 2015, 10:09:21 PM 7Nm is going to be used in multi billion dollar markets such as cellular phones. Until BTC goes up in price the entire mining market is only $400M right now for everyone. Even if you were 25% of the global it's barely going cover the investment of 16Nm right now. Most large companies make a number of different iterations of a desired processor before releasing the final product. There are a lot of hidden costs in R&D and development that would not make 7Nm viable for some time without an increase in BTC price.

What a joke That's because of TSMCs failed FinFet attempts.https://www.google.ch/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAAahUKEwjQxNb1tt7GAhXMwBQKHTJVCzM&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwccftech.com%2Ftsmcs-16nm-finfet-faces-delays-qualcomm-jumps-ship-samsung%2F&ei=aP-mVdDwE8yBU7KqrZgD&usg=AFQjCNGis4NvDkKRlwtEy84_s4qK9XfsVw&sig2=giLl0WCFbk70YgkPyQiXTg&bvm=bv.97949915,d.bGQ Title: Re: GloFo tests 7nm.
