Seems strange that the 820 would be Samsung/GloFo 14nm only, especially given the magnitude of the 16nm FinFET ramp that TSMC expects in 2016. Also strange that 625 and 629 would be Samsung/GF only when TSMC has plenty of 20nm capacity in place (and Qualcomm has already deployed designs on it).

Calling BS on this list.

+1 for BS.

Some mistakes/omissions that shouldn't have made it even on an internal memo/slide.

- "Big.Little" -> "big.LITTLE"
- no mention of process for 620
- what does "620 both Adreno 418 GPU" mean?
- RAM speed not mentioned for every SoC

I don't know if this rumor has circulated here yet, but recent word is that Qualcomm ditched TSMC's 16nm for Samsung's 14nm.

Didn't Samsung fix their 14nm FF's problems and have it ready now?

TSMC stated on its call that it will have overwhelming market share in 16FF during 2016. Can't really do that if big customers like Qualcomm have "ditched" TSMC for Samsung.

Snapdragon 820 is not credible. We will probably see the 815 shipped sometime in 2015, but in an actual device on store shelves? Probably not.

But I can tell you faked it, real leaks are always blurry, amateur :p

This looks like they just typed up a document in word, printed it, scanned it at low resolution and put a watermark.

It's possible the news hasn't been broken to them, but yeah, I did see that on their earnings call. Guess we find out in about a year, eh?

Perhaps because ss have then moved to 10nm? Lol

You're a bit too optimistic, to say the least. 10nm won't show up from Samsung until late 2016, at best. TSMC isn't putting it out until 2017... and that's after the tremendous task force they've assembled to accelerate its development.
