Indeed, Exynos faces hurdles due to Samsung's inferior process. It would be fascinating to observe the practical implications if the rumors regarding AMD manufacturing certain low-end products at Samsung turned out to be true. Reply
I want AMD to succeed at using Samsung 4nm, because it opens up the possibility of true budget chips in higher volumes, keeping prices down. Get a budget APU to Intel N100 pricing.
The certain product rumored is Sonoma Valley, a platform compatible Mendocino sequel. 4x Zen 5C cores, which would be stellar, faster than a 5500U and supporting AVX-512, likely slower graphics. But it would crush top Mendocino (7520U).Reply
Sounds like Samsung is getting back into the fight, it's just too bad they've lost a lot of their potential.
I actually liked their ambition, and pushing for their custom architecture. They should have kept their in-house department and continue developing Mongoose. They lack in the GPU/NPU side, so it would've been great if Samsung was the one to acquire Imagination Technologies. Their fabrications were pretty competitive too until 2018. And now we're seeing a whole system being built. Not to mention they also manufacture the memory, storage, camera, display, and the housing modules.
In fact, I would've loved to see Samsung stay away from Windows Phone and Android, and instead to partner with Nokia to build a Linux-Ecosystem for phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, TV Consoles. I had their first BadaOS and it was quite revolutionary at the time.

Now it's getting interesting. ReplyThreska - Friday, May 3, 2024 - link
Now their phones can compete. Replyballsystemlord - Saturday, May 4, 2024 - link
Now they have more than 1% yield. ;) ReplyDante Verizon - Saturday, May 4, 2024 - link
*In-house Socs, not phones.It will help a lot to make Exynos more competitive against Snapdragon. Reply
