In addition to the release of the Exynos2100 processor, Samsung also confirmed a major event at this Exynos event, that is, the custom GPU that they have worked with AMD for many years will soon appear and will be used on the next flagship machine. The current Exynos2100 processor uses ARM’s Mali-G78GPU core with a total of 14 cores, so the GPU architecture developed by Samsung will be the next Exynos processor, and the GPU will be the focus. This is probably the meaning of Exynos2100’s GPU stacking. The key reason. Dr. InyupKang, president of Samsung’s LSI business, confirmed that the next-generation mobile GPU in cooperation with AMD will be used in the next flagship product, but he did not specify which product. Samsung is not talking about the next-generation flagship but the next one, so it is very likely that a new Exynos processor will be available this year, either for the Galaxy Note 21 series or the new generation of folding screen Galaxy ZFold 3. In 2019, AMD and Samsung rea...
Defying a decline in market revenue, the world's top-10 semiconductor suppliers managed to generate revenue growth of 2.1% in the first quarter of 2020, as they benefitted from a COVID-19-driven increase in PC and server sales, according to Omdia. The top-10 chipmakers collectively generated revenue of US$63.6 billion in the first quarter, up from US$62.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019, Omdia said. This contrasts with a 2% sequential decline in the overall global chip market in the first quarter, with revenue falling to US$110.1 billion, down from US$112.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019. While Omdia typically employs a year-over-year comparison for market-share growth figures, the unprecedented downturn for the semiconductor market in 2019 and the pandemic in 2020 have made annual comparisons less meaningful, prompting a focus on the sequential aspect on the semiconductor market. "Many of the leading semiconductor suppliers benefitted from strong demand for...
