Samsung will provide Exynos chipsets to Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo from next year

According to a new report from Business Korea, Samsung’s system semiconductor department will provide Samsung’s own developed Exynos chipset to manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo from next year.

At present, the Exynos chipset is mainly used in Samsung’s own equipment, but in order to continue to increase revenue and profit, Samsung’s system semiconductor department will open the supply range.

Of course, the logic behind this is actually very simple. After Huawei was banned by the United States, companies such as Xiaomi are quickly filling the market left by Huawei, so shipments will increase significantly.

Even if Samsung does not provide chipsets, companies such as Xiaomi will purchase chips from companies such as Qualcomm and MediaTek, so Samsung is essentially for this part of the profit.

It is reported that Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 1080 chipset will be based on a 5-nanometer process and will be provided to vivo for use on the company’s X60 smartphone.

Samsung will also use a 5-nanometer chipset in its Galaxy A series of devices, which seems to be the ARM Cortex-A78 architecture that can improve performance by 20%.

The performance of the new ARM Mali-G78 GPU is 25% higher than the previous model, so the Exynos 1080 performs better than the Snapdragon 865 even if it is positioned in the mid-range.

Samsung also plans to launch the Exynos 2100 chipset in early 2021, which will be used in Samsung’s high-end flagship series Galaxy S21.
