Smartphones Samsung Galaxy a Android devices in general have become perhaps too powerful for the average user over the years. 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 manufactured by both Samsung and TSMC, some industry insiders claim that the "stumbling block" is ARM's processor design.

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

 

Chips Applu are also built on ARM's ISA, but they don't suffer from the aforementioned problems as much. How is this possible? A potential explanation is given by a report by the Business Korea website, which was pointed out by SamMobile. The website, citing chip industry insiders, notes that Apple is addressing issues associated with ARM processor design by working with the company to tune its chips for use in iOS.

Samsung and Qualcomm develop their chips for use by different manufacturers, so it seems that they usually prioritize compatibility over optimization. Android chipsets that are not "tuned" and use the unchanged ISA design from ARM, according to the website, therefore provide lower performance. However, the Korean giant may avoid these problems in the future. Recently, information appeared on the air that it could be working on a new chipset designed and optimized specifically for smartphones Galaxy.
