Samsung will independently developed ARM architecture processors will be used on the Galaxy S5. There are two kinds of architecture from the current authorization RM ways: one is like Qualcomm and Apple authorized such an instruction set, after obtaining authorization instruction set architecture can develop their own products; while another is like Samsung and MediaTek architecture that directly to obtain authorization can be directly produced Cortex processor architecture
Samsung's Exynos 5410 uses ARM's big.LITTLE architecture, although the performance of up to 30,000 points run points, but the quad-core Cortex-A15 + three core PowerVR 544MP allows the processor power consumption and heat has been a problem, optimizing the latest Exynos 5420 the architecture design, GPU replaced by six-core Mali-T628, the official claimed that CPU performance 20%, GPU doubled the performance, power consumption, heat generation have improved, but still palliatives, Cortex-A15 high power consumption not so high fever easy to solve, the final decision in the next generation Exynos Samsung use their own development framework.
Qualcomm, Apple and other companies use the ARM architecture license, you can independently design compatible ARM processor, while Samsung had to use the ARM processor are authorized, CPU ARM architecture directly from the public version. The former authorized technical difficulty, but benefits can take control of the processor power consumption and heat issues, the latter authorization save worry, the disadvantage is that ARM designs into what the vendors on what kind of.
According to the Korean ETNews reported that, in order to fundamentally solve the situation, Samsung decided to develop from an ARM processor. Samsung Austin R & D in the United States R & D Center (SARC) has autonomy in the design of the ARM processor architecture, the first half of 2014 is expected to complete the development, the specific listing is no timetable, and perhaps even Note 4 generation Galaxy S5 is possible to spend .
Samsung Electronics, the electronic chip development has a strong technical strength, and is currently one of the few along with CPU, DRAM and NAND flash memory development and production capacity of the company, if Samsung can combine the advantages of these three, they ARM processor architecture independent Perhaps there will be more advantages.
