Why is Apple the only phone company to design their own SoCs? Why are they the only company with a custom 64-bit ARM design?
>>

I think ARM holdings might have had something to do with it..
>>
>what is the Exynos 7420
>>
>>50817984
they didn't design it... their series of Socs are modified cortex models mostly. Engineered, not designed.
>>
>>50817984
They literally just lost a billion dollar lawsuit fir stealing their designs from the university of Wisconsin, and the lawsuit for the A9 and A10 chips hasn't been settled yet
>>
Doesn't Samsung make the A9?
>>
>>50818083
Literally all stock ARM designs thrown together

>>50818116
Then how do you explain the performance differences?
>>
Because they can, they have money.
Samshit also have Exynos.
>>
>>50818247
>performance difference
>using 50% of one chip vs 25% of another chip
>both chips perform identically when at 100% load

You are literally fucking retarded.

xDD

>>50818247
And thats is the power of Apple(tm) dual-core ARM cpu vs Exynos (Cortex-A57 2.1Ghz+Cortex-A53 1.5Ghz, 4+4) cpu.

>>50818305
>multicore is the same
Cry moar samshitfag
>>

>expecting iToddlers to understand anything about technology besides "longer is better"
>>
>>50817984
why is "custom" somehow equating to "better"?
>>
>>50817984
Qualcomm is believed to be getting one out at the end of the year. It's called "Kryo", and is a custom, scratchbuilt uarch that's compliant with the ARMv8 ISA. Of course, coming out at the end of the year means it'll be a long time before we see companies actually use chips in devices.

Samsung is also working on their own custom Uarch with chips codenamed "Mongoose". It's believed they'll launch Mongoose based chips with their next gen flagships.

So Exynos is the AMD of smartphones?
