Samsung will make some changes to the processor architecture of the next-generation Exynos, the oracle at any rate, the current rumor mill: How should the Exynos chips of 6 Differ significantly stronger generation that will be installed in the alleged Samsung Galaxy S5(Samsung Cover Case) of ARM's reference architecture and optimized for better scalability towards higher energy efficiency.

Samsung's chip division, it is currently not easy: First, because the current generation of chips, represented by the octa-core processor Exynos 5410, could not be produced in sufficient quantity to equip all Samsung Galaxy S4 - have rumored to only 10 to 30% all units produced worldwide Samsung's own chipset. Secondly, the chip is not exactly the most resource-SoC: How the Exynos 5410, despite eight cores of developed basically just a quad-core chip, because there are at any time up to four cores active. Reason is that the underlying ARM architecture big.Little switch between the four low-power and low-clocked Cortex-A7 cores(cover case for samsung galaxy note 2) and the high-performance four-A15 cores, but not both sets may have the same active. In addition, all four active cores are always set to the same clock.

However different main rival Qualcomm: Because the company stronger move away from ARM reference architecture, scale Snapdragon S4 Pro, 600 and 800 better, even when the chips only have four cores. Thus, cores can at any time depends on the power demand, and to be switched off again, the individual cores can be operated with independent clock rates. Effect: Qualcomm dominated 2013 with its Snapdragon chips, Samsung is building itself, in addition to all relevant manufacturers in its flagship Galaxy S4 Qualcomm chips one, certainly with gritted teeth.

With the upcoming next year and probably also in the Samsung Galaxy S5(samsung android screen protector) to use upcoming Exynos 6-generation processor, Samsung is likely to turn a little more about the efficiency of screw: According to rumors, the DetNews has snapped, Samsung plans for early 2014 mobile processors with a " custom ARM-based "architecture. This means that although it continues to build compatible processors that are equipped with ARM license, but this further away from the reference design and can be correspondingly more optimized - as Qualcomm and Apple do it for years. Technically want to strive for the development that takes place in Samsung's R & D center in Texas, in particular to increase the bandwidth between the CPU and flash-like memory, but also more energy efficient is a goal. Overall, Samsung plan, according to the insider source DetNews to create a processor architecture that is the equal of Qualcomm.

Let's hope that Samsung achieved this goal, otherwise there is a total Qualcomm mobile processor monoculture in the upper class - and that can be in nobody's interest.
