Will Exynos chipsets get a new partner?
Samsung’s Exynos chipsets are what have been driving its smartphones launched in the recent years. However, so far Samsung had to rely on Mali GPUs (sourced from ARM) for graphics. If Samsung starts making its own GPUs, Samsung will be able to optimize in a way that it delivers optimum performance. With this move, Samsung will also heavily cut down its device cost and dependence on ARM.
The company eyeing the possible use of GPUs in future tech including autonomous cars. It is worth mentioning here is that its rival smartphone maker Apple has been using its own GPU in for more than a year now.
