При переходе с 16-нм на 7-нм техпроцесс ядро Cortex-A72 снижает энергопотребление на 56%. Во дают ! Куда там его снижать, если оно и так потребляет всего около одного ватта ? Хорошая новость для Медиатека, теперь они смогут запихнуть в свой новый проц сразу 16 ядер и количеством нагнуть Интел !

On 7-nanometer. Our 7-nanometer technology development is well on track. Its 256-megabit SRAM yield improvement is ahead of our schedule.
In addition, we believe our 7-nanometer PPA, that is power, performance and area density, with its schedule, is ahead of our competitors. This
technology has been aggressively adopted, not only by mobile customers, but also by high-performance computing customers. They all have
aggressive product tape-out plan in first half 2017, with volume production planned in early 2018.

The question is regarding the high-performance computing, how would that -- appears to be? At this point we think, first of all, many of the low-end
servers has -- some of our smaller customer has penetrated already. But for the ballpark, the main portion of the server, I think it will wait for the
7-nanometer to get some share by our customers. But in the next -- at least in the next -- so 7-nanometer will happen in 2018 and afterwards, so
it will start from 2019 and beyond. So it will -- for the datacenter I think it will be more a hockey stick beyond -- probably really bigger portion
beyond 2020.
