Samsung Electronics has begun production of the A9 processor, the next generation ARM-based CPU for Apple’s iPhone and iPad, according to the Korean IT Times.

This processor uses 14nm FinFET manufacturing, a cutting-edge design for semiconductors that many other manufacturers, including AMD, IBM and TSMC, are adopting. It uses a new silicon substrate to reduce leakages, which means less power lost and less heat.

Korea IT Times says Samsung has production lines capable of FinFET process production in Austin, Texas and Giheung, Korea, but production is only taking place in Austin as it is in the initial stage. Samsung invested $3.9 billion in that plant specifically to make chips for Apple. So now Apple can say its CPU is “Made in America.”
