Samsung Foundry has certified full flow tools from its partners just in time to start developing the new 5LPE (5nm low-power early) manufacturing process. The new tech still relies on the company's EUV lithography and certifying full flow design tools is essential for chip makers to create a reliable and efficient chip design. The tools use ARM's Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 cores based on the 5LPE technology, but the latter still uses FinFET transistors. The new design is expected to deliver 25% better logic efficiency compared to the previous one but more importantly - 20% less power...
