A new rumor has just revealed that Samsung is developing what insiders are tentatively calling the “Galaxy Chip,” which will eventually be used in Samsung flagships by around 2025.
According to a report from Business Korea, the smartphone giant plans to develop its own CPU cores to be used in its phones just like Apple’s A-Bionic series and Google’s more recent Tensor chips.
Specifically, the company plans to lessen its reliance on ARM-based CPUs with its own in-house chip. The report says that experts and insiders are expecting a ‘Galaxy Chip’ to come out by 2025.
The rumor is surprising given Samsung’s recent partnership with Qualcomm in featuring the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset “for Galaxy” in the recent launch of its S23 flagship series.
Aside from giving users a slightly higher clock speed, the “for Galaxy” chip ensured that all S23 units shipped globally would carry the Qualcomm chip and not Samsung’s Exynos which has had the tendency of overheating and throttling in the past.
