Samsung will launch Windows 10 laptops with Exynos and AMD processors

It is said that when Qualcomm cooperated with Microsoft to launch Windows 10 on ARM many years ago, the industry was still very much looking forward to the application of this ARM processor on the desktop.

However, the development of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series processors on the desktop platform did not go smoothly. It seemed that the industry did not pay attention until recently after Apple launched the M1 processor.

The president of Qualcomm said earlier that Apple’s introduction of the M1 processor based on the ARM architecture and application on the MacBook is Apple’s imitation of Qualcomm.

Qualcomm also mentioned that after Apple launched the device, a large number of customers asked whether Qualcomm provides the same solution. Obviously, Qualcomm already has a more mature solution.

Samsung is currently preparing to bring its own Exynos processor to the Windows 10 desktop platform, that is, launching a laptop equipped with a Samsung Exynos processor.

Samsung Exynos is also based on the ARM architecture. Currently, Exynos processors are mainly used in Samsung smartphones.

The Samsung notebook computer equipped with the Exynos processor is expected to be released at Unpacked 2021, and it will be equipped with an Exynos 2200 processor.

At the same time, it is expected that the display performance will not be bad with AMD GPU, but whether the overall performance can exceed the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx series chipset is temporarily unclear.

The media said that Apple’s bringing the ARM architecture to the desktop platform has a guiding role for the industry, and more manufacturers may take similar measures in the future. For example, Microsoft has also made it clear that it will develop its own ARM processor to replace Intel in its own devices.
