Executive Summary

• Located under the DRAM chip on the main board, the application processors (AP) are packaged using PoPtechnology. The Apple A10 can be found in the iPhone 7 series. The HiSilicon Kirin 955 can be found in theHuawei P9 and the Samsung Exynos 8 as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 can be found in the SamsungGalaxy S7 series depending on the world version (US and Asia for the Snapdragon and International for theExynos).

• In this report, we highlight the differences and the innovations of the packages chosen by the end-userOEMs. Whereas some AP provider like for HiSilicon or Samsung choose to consider conventional PoP withembedded land-side capacitor (LSC), others like Apple or Qualcomm used innovative technologies like Fan-Out PoP and silicon based Deep Trench LSC or embedded die packaging with advanced PCB substrate. Thedetailed comparison between the four players will give the pros and the cons of the packagingtechnologies.

• This report also compares the costs of the different approaches and includes a detailed technicalcomparison between the packaging structure of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, the Samsung Exynos 8,the HiSilicon Kirin 955 and the Apple A10.
