Samsung makes an effort to compete for the top spot in whatever market they get into, whether that's smartphones, tablets, or mobile processors. Up until this point, Samsung has used several ARM designed processor cores in their mobile processors, but they've never invested into developing custom cores like Qualcomm has with their Krait cores. This is all about to change, however, as Samsung is looking to get away from the traditional Cortex-A15 and A7 cores that are currently used in their Exynos processors.
Samsung will reportedly begin designing their own custom ARMv7 cores for production soon and will hopefully be put into mobile devices sometime in 2014. This is definitely a bold move, especially in a market that's so heavily dominated by Qualcomm processors (even in Samsung's own devices), but if anyone has the money and resources to develop custom cores like this, it would be a company like Samsung.
What do you think? Do you think this will help Samsung devices' performance in a few years? Let us know in the comments.
