According to rumors, Samsung may be developing its own ARM-based processors for its Windows laptops. The Korean company will have presented these laptops by 2025.
According to Korean news agency Pulse News, Samsung Electronics, in an interesting shift in strategy, may have decided to start developing its own ARM-based processors to minimize its dependence on third-party processor suppliers.
Pulse News claims that Samsung Electronics has “recruited” a former senior processor designer/engineer from AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) to lead the new program.
According to information, the new processor will be called “Galaxy Chip” and will be based on ARM’s architecture, with the design being carried out entirely in-house.
With the ‘Galaxy Chip’, and its various variants, Samsung will replace the Intel processors found in the Galaxy Book devices. Of course, this is not the first time that Samsung has developed its own ARM-based processors.
The company has designed several processors based on the ARM architecture for mobile devices with the Exynos program (which debuted with the Samsung Galaxy S II). Although viable, the Exynos program was eventually abandoned because Exynos SoCs (System-on-Chips) tended to lag behind arch-rival Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SoC counterparts in terms of multi-core performance, power efficiency, and stability.
For example, with the launch of the Galaxy S23, it is the first time since 2011 that no Exynos SoC devices were released.
