La strategia 2021 di Samsung: 3 nuovi chip Exynos, uno per i laptop

Sempre più insistenti le indiscrezioni sui prossimo processori di Samsung, dedicati agli smartphone di fascia media e alta e anche a una nuova linea di laptop.

Negli ultimi giorni i leaker stanno dibattendo parecchio su Twitter sul futuro della gamma di processori Exynos di Samsung. Già nei giorni scorsi ha iniziato a circolare una prima indiscrezione, secondo cui Samsung presenterà entro fine anno i nuovi Galaxy Book con SoC proprietario, non più realizzato da Qualcomm.

Adesso, invece, i leaker stanno tornando insistentemente a twittare messaggi contenenti “Exynos 8XX“, “Exynos 1XXX" ed “Exynos 2XXX“, dopo una prima ondata di messaggi simili a fine gennaio. Che qualcosa bolla in pentola, quindi, è chiaro ma da Samsung ancora non ci sono notizie ufficiali. Nothing is said, above all, on the most interesting of the three chips expected: the 2XXX, which will probably be 2200 and will integrate a GPU produced by AMD. It would be precisely this, in fact, the strategy chosen by Samsung to overcome the graphics performance gap with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 SoCs equipped with proprietary GPU Adreno.

The next Exynos 800 series will be used on mid-range and low-end devices, such as the Galaxy A range, where it will replace the now obsolete Exynos 9611. It should have higher performance than the Exynos 850, used on the Samsung A21s, and be compatible with 5G.

The Samsung Exynos 1XXX will almost certainly be the 1200, aimed at the high end of the market but not the top of the range. Like its predecessor Exynons 1080, which Samsung also supplied to Vivo for its X60 and X60 Pro.

This is the top-of-the-line SoC, successor to the current Exynos 2100 that powers the brand new Galaxy S21, this year's flagship smartphone. It will almost certainly be called Exynos 2200 and it's the most interesting processor of all because, together with the previous one, it could have the graphic compartment made by AMD.

If so, it would have enough power for every kind of basic productivity application and could equip the new Galaxy Book laptops without making them regret too much an SoC made by Qualcomm.
