Samsung has been attempting to make its title within the chips market for a few years. The South Korean firm has been desperately combating towards Qualcomm. The primary technique it was following to was launching two variations of its Galaxy S flagships. The Exynos-powered fashions had been bought primarily in Europe, whereas the US clients had been getting the Qualcomm-powered fashions. This triggered a whole lot of complaints as a result of Exynos chips are not so good as Qualcomm ones. And although now we have heard the corporate will take a time-out and gained’t energy the Galaxy S23 with the Exynos chip, it appears we’ll by no means see new Samsung Galaxy S smartphones with its personal chip.
Why Galaxy S Telephones Have To Processor Variations
As analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated, the producer goes to withdraw from this area of interest. Effectively, it’s not going to depart the sector fully. However most certainly, there shall be no Galaxy S with an Exynos chip sooner or later. Perhaps will probably be supplying Exynos processors to different manufacturers.
Notice: Lately we bought two opposite leaks. One was saying Samsung will make Exynos chips for its Galaxy telephone sonly, whereas the second was saying nobody wants it, even Samsung.
There are numerous explanations for why Samsung makes use of a two-processor technique on its Galaxy S line fashions. For example, the most typical one is that the US market nonetheless wants CDMA. (It’s the predecessor of LTE which continues to be in use by some carriers). Exynos chips don’t assist CDMA. That’s why Samsung determined to make use of just one HW chassis for the entire area and selected Qualcomm for the entire US market.
However now we have to say that Exynos chipsets are good on CPU/GPU benchmarking and fairly weak in radio efficiency in comparison with Qualcomm. The latter is a few years forward with the design of its modem. So Qualcomm-based units can use the community extra effectively. They will additionally make use of superior community options which might be at the moment related to the US (MIMO, LTE-U, LAA/LWA, and many others.).

1. Qualcomm will doubtless be the only processor provider for Samsung Galaxy S23 (vs. 70% cargo proportion for S22) because of the following flagship 5G chip SM8550 made by TSMC 4nm.— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) July 8, 2022
On this regard, the analyst stated that Samsung can’t ignore actuality anymore. “S23 might not undertake Exynos 2300 made by Samsung 4nm as a result of it will probably’t compete with SM8550 in all facets,” he wrote on Twitter. Nevertheless, we must also notice that Samsung’s departure from this discipline will make Qualcomm the only king within the chip business.
