To reduce dependence on ARM, sources say Samsung accelerates development of its own CPU cores

Update time : 2023-03-07 15:40:40

Samsung Electronics is preparing to develop its own CPU cores for smartphones and PCs in order to reduce its reliance on British chip designer ARM and improve the optimisation of its devices, industry sources have said, according to Pulsenews.

Samsung Electronics has recently formed an internal team dedicated to CPU core development, led by a veteran developer who was previously in charge of CPU development at AMD, several industry sources said on Sunday.
The CPU is a key component for data computing and is an important part of the application processor (AP), which represents the "brain" of the smartphone. Samsung Electronics has previously relied on CPU cores from ARM for its own AP chip, Exynos, and its rival Qualcomm also builds AP chips based on ARM designs. If it succeeds in developing its own CPU cores, it will help Samsung to significantly improve the optimisation of its smartphones.
Samsung Electronics is also accelerating the development of next-generation AP chips, such as those designed specifically for its flagship Galaxy series, according to the report. Its Systems LSI business unit set up an AP solutions development team late last year to work with its Mobile Experience (MX) business unit to advance next-generation advanced research and AP optimisation efforts.
According to industry sources, the first chip from the team is called the Galaxy Chip and could be available in 2025. However, the chip is likely to be based on ARM technology CPU cores, as Samsung Electronics has just launched its own CPU core development project.
If Samsung Electronics succeeds in developing its own CPU core, it will help make its Galaxy Chip more competitive," said one industry source, who asked not to be named. If development goes according to plan, Samsung could achieve its own CPU cores by 2027."
This is not the first time Samsung Electronics has attempted to develop its own CPU cores, as the company invested in technology development back in the early 2010s, forming a team to acquire its own design capabilities. However, Samsung Electronics later ended the program, arguing that its mobile CPU cores were not as efficient as others such as Qualcomm in terms of multi-core and power efficiency.In 2019, Samsung Electronics laid off around 300 developers from its research centre in Austin, Texas, USA. Currently, the high-end mobile AP market is dominated by Qualcomm, while the low-end market is dominated by MediaTek.
