Samsung plants can manufacture processors with thinner 14nm chips making it smaller, cheaper and less power consuming while Qualcomm Snapdragon processors use 20nm wiring. Everyone knows that Apple and Samsung are rivals, and now Apple has signed a contract to produce A9 processors at Samsung plants, the processors which will power the next generation of iPhone and iPad.
