A new report claims that Samsung has started production of its A9 processor, which will likely be put inside future iPhone and iPad products from Apple. The company has used previous versions of Samsung's chip to power its products.
The report comes from the Electronic Times site in South Korea, citing unnamed sources. It claims the A9 chip actually started production on Thursday, December 11, at Samsung's Austin, Texas manufacturing plant using the 14nm process. It added:
The Austin plant began official production first at Apple's request, and industry insiders said it is a move to produce the chip in the US, not Korea. They guessed that the Austin plant was chosen because of the next-generation chip's problems with performance security and supply.
