Samsung has been making homegrown Exynos processors for a few years now, but they still used the Snapdragon for most of their devices. The reason usually involved LTE compatibility, but production capacity could have also played a part. Now recent reports of the Snapdragon 810 overheating has fueled speculation that Samsung will ditch Qualcomm in favor of their own chip on the Galaxy S 6, but other analysts contend the Exynos isn’t ready for primetime yet. However, overheating or no overheating, it appears that Samsung might not be making this decision based on that. It appears that Samsung is ready to expand the Exynos to not only most of their their devices, but hopefully with other manufacturers, thus entering into a war with Qualcomm.
Let’s face it, making money in mobile is no longer easy for Samsung, so that’s why they have to think of other creative things. The Exynos has always been one or two steps ahead of other processors. It was the first to adopt octa-core technology and now the Exynos 7420 is based on the 14nm process, which is ahead of the 810′s 20nm. It behooves Samsung to expand the use of Exynos chips, and whether it happens with the Galaxy S 6 or not, it’s just a matter of time until Samsung goes full throttle and Qualcomm will likely suffer.
