It`s Official: Qualcomm confirms 7nm process node for new chip (SD855?) paired with X50 5G modem.



Qualcomm announced today is working with smartphones makers around the world to launch its upcoming flagship mobile platform, a system on chip (SOC) built on the 7nm process node that can be paired with the company X50 5G modem, which could be the the first in its class for smartphones and mobiles devices. 

Qualcomm is planning to give more details of its next gen flagship mobile platform in the 4th quarter of 2018.
