According to Business Korea, the new node will go online in the second quarter of 2015. Apple, Qualcomm and Nvidia will be among the first outfits to use it, aside from Samsung. Samsung could lead the way with the first 14nm ARM SoC in the upcoming Galaxy S6, but this is still speculation and nothing is confirmed.

A Samsung official told the publication that 20nm is already a “mainstream technology” and that rivals are trying to compete with 16nm FinFET, but Samsung is in an advantage.

“Our company has already introduced the production process of 14 nm FinFETs,” the unnamed Samsung source told Business Korea.

Qualcomm is using TSMC’s planar 20nm node for its latest Snapdragon 810 flagship SoC and the chip seems to be experiencing some thermal issues, although Qualcomm is playing them down.

As for Nvidia, its first FinFET product should be Parker, a SoC based on the company’s custom 64-bit Denver core and Maxwell GPU.
