Several companies have designed machines with processors that weren't made by Intel or AMD in recent years, including Samsung. But those machines run on Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets, so this would be the first time a modern Windows laptop would launch with fries made by the same manufacturer.

Microsoft'south Surface Pro X uses a Microsoft SQ1 or SQ2 processor, merely these are made in partnership with Qualcomm.

Subsequently the success Apple has had with its M1 chip, it's not difficult to see why other companies might want to bound on this bandwagon. Unfortunately, Qualcomm has effectively cornered the ARM scrap market for Windows, and there are still some lingering app compatibility bug to be worried about.

Samsung has been developing Exynos chips for the final decade. And so, like Apple, information technology's in the perfect position to launch a new laptop featuring a processor that has been made in house. AMD would exist handling the graphical duties, co-ordinate to ZDNet Korea's source, but information technology should still give the company a lot more control over the laptop's performance.

Of form, not every company is going to be able to replicate the success of Apple tree Silicon correct off the bat. The Exynos 2200 may exist a game-changer for Samsung laptops, or it could still end upward having similar performance and compatibility bug equally comparable Qualcomm chipsets.

Whatever happens, more than variety in the bit market can but be a proficient affair, specially with Apple tree taking the lead the way information technology has. With all the incredible gains the M1 bit offers compared to Intel-based processors. Not only did the MacBook Pro M1 and MacBook Air M1 beat out virtually Windows PCs in benchmarking tests, our ain testing showed a massive gain in battery life.

Other laptop makers have a lot of catching up to practise, only remains to be seen if Samsung can go toe-to-toe with Apple Silicon.
