WFFCTech: Samsung Introduces Its 7nm EUV Technology – Up to 30% Higher Transistor Performance & 50% Lower Power
(...) according to ZDNet, it will enable more accurate patterning, which Samsung states that its upcoming 7nm technology features a 27nm fin pitch and a 54nm gate pitch, resulting in the smallest FinFET transistors right now. This is will result in a 40 percent shrink in the manufacturing process when you compare it to the 10nm Snapdragon 845 and Exynos 9810. A smaller shrink in the manufacturing process is not going to be the only benefit as the use of EUV technology will also result in better pattern fidelity and less variability at these dimensions, with Samsung claiming 70 percent better pattern fidelity.

Unfortunately, the transition from risk production (7nm risk production to start later this year from Samsung) to full volume production can take at least 12 months

Guru3D: Mini LED based Gaming Monitors may reach market at the end of this year
AU Optronics is working hard on a new backlighting system for LCD panels, basically, it is based on many small LEDs hinting towards arrays of backlights, the technology might already become available at the end of this year.
The technology sounds like FALD, Full Array Local Dimming, however, this is the next step - the lighting is based on many small LEDs behind a panel also known as Mini LED (not to confuse with micro-LED). This can run up to hundreds if not thousands of small LEDs behind that LCD panel, lighting up tiny segments of the screen that need to be lit. This method of local dimming would be good for more accurate HDR reproduction and high contrasts. How many LEDs AOC will place behind a panel, is not yet known. AU Optronics is also expected ship its mini LED panels for gaming notebook PC, smartphone and VR headset applications, later on, reports DigiTimes.
