As things stand, the super-small and super-efficient 22nm transistors in Ivy Bridge are about as cutting edge as mainstream chip production gets, which is why this promise from Samsung is rather astounding. As reported by Reuters, the Korean manufacturer is preparing to invest $1.9 billion in a new logic chip line that will make chips for smartphones and processors. These chips will use 20 nanometer and 14 nanometer fabrication processes, making them potentially more faster and more efficient than Ivy Bridge -- and leaving the 32nm silicon currently found in Sammy's Exynos Quad and even Qualcomm's 28nm Snapdragon S4 far behind.
