Related NewsIt is said that Samsung may be preparing to disband its CPU design team at its R&D center in Austin, Texas, and may abandon its independent architecture "Mongoose" developed in the past few years and turn to a semi-customized design solution in cooperation with Arm.
Since the launch of the first independently designed processor Exynos 2015 (used in the Galaxy S8890 series) in 7, Samsung's independently designed architecture "Mongoose" has entered its fourth year of development. However, even the one currently used in the Galaxy Note 10Exynos 9825, its overall performance is still not comparable to Qualcomm's products of the same level, and it is not even as good as the Kirin series processors that Huawei has continuously invested in and developed in recent years.
The recent launch of the 2019G connectivity feature during IFA 5Exynos 980, is to use Arm to provide a semi-customized design solution, based on the Cortex-A77 CPU design, and fine-tune it according to Samsung's needs, so as to launch new processor products at a faster speed. Perhaps it means that Samsung will use this model to create new processors in the future.
In fact, Qualcomm, which has always emphasized the use of completely independent architecture design, has never been able to achieve significant breakthroughs in its own architecture design. It can only adopt Arm's general-purpose architecture design in Snapdragon 810 and Snapdragon 808. Therefore, starting from Snapdragon 820, it adopted Arm's semi-customized design model to ensure that its architecture design can be updated smoothly every year.
Judging from the performance of Qualcomm's currently marketed Snapdragon 855 processor, it's clear that the semi-customized design approach developed in collaboration with Arm not only maintains product design flexibility but also ensures that annual updates keep pace with market demand.
If Samsung finally decides to embrace Arm's semi-customized design solution, it may focus more design resources on cooperation with AMD.Radeon GPU Technology License ApplicationIt is expected that the display performance of the Radeon GPU designed with the RDNA architecture will be combined with the Exynos series processors, thereby allowing mobile devices such as mobile phones to achieve higher computing performance.
