Samsung LogoSamsung today said it has begun producing systems-on-a-chip using its 10nm FinFET process.

The SoCs will eventually be used in application processors for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Samsung’s 10nm FinFET process relies on 3D transistors and new methods such as triple-patterning to generate significant improvements over its 14nm process.

For example, SoCs made with the 10nm process are 30% smaller, require 40% less power, and can boost performance by up to 27%.

Samsung believes the first devices to rely on its 10nm FinFET process will reach the market it early 2017, with more to follow throughout the year.
