Samsung smartphones Galaxy and generally androidOver the years, these devices have become perhaps too powerful for the average user. The debate over the performance of Samsung's Exynos and Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips may seem endless to some, but it can lead to healthy competition. Regardless of which solution is better, both suffer from similar problems. And since these problems occur in chipsets made by both Samsung and TSMC, some industry insiders say that the "stumbling block" is ARM's processor design.

Androidov chipsets, such as those offered by Samsung and Qualcomm, have a problem with power and temperature management. It runs at higher temperatures, which leads to faster performance degradation and higher energy consumption. Both Exynos and Snapdragon chips use ARM's instruction set (ISA). ISA is an abstract model that defines how a processor is controlled by software. It is actually the interface between hardware and software that determines what the processor can do and how it performs its tasks.

 

However, Apple's chips are also built on ARM's ISA, yet they do not suffer from the mentioned problems as much. How is it possible? A report by Business Korea, which was brought to the attention of SamMobile, provides a potential explanation. The website, citing insiders from the chip industry, points out that Apple solves problems associated with ARM's processor design by working with the company to fine-tune its chips for use in iOS.

Samsung and Qualcomm develop their chips for use by different manufacturers, so they seem to prioritize compatibility over optimization as a rule. Androidov chipsets that are not "fine-tuned" and use ARM's unchanged ISA design, therefore perform less well, according to the website. However, the Korean giant may avoid these problems in the future. She recently appeared on the air informace, that it could work on a new chipset designed and optimized specifically for smartphones Galaxy.
