Xiaomi and Samsung have apparently partnered up to produce a new custom silicon. The two firms have reportedly held five meetings so far regarding the development of a SoC based on ARM Cortex X2 cores.
According to CLIEN.NET (Via NotebookCheck), ARM has yet to announce the Cortex X2, although, the new architecture is expected to be unveiled later this year. Similar to the partnership between the Chinese and South Korean tech giant, Qualcomm is also expected to adopt the new v9 architecture for its upcoming flagship SoCs. Even Samsung would likely use the new cores for its competing Exynos based processors as well.
Furthermore, the report also adds that Xiaomi would also seek to continue using ARM Mali GPUs over the Samsung and AMD’s combined offerings, due to limited units that might be available. In recent times, many companies are moving over to custom chipsets in the Android smartphone market. With Apple having moved its Mac series of PCs to its custom silicon, even Google is reported on working on a custom ‘Whitechapel’ SoC for its upcoming Pixel 6 series, which is expected to launch in Autumn of this year.
Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt. However, we had previously reported on the Chinese smartphone maker showing interest in developing custom silicon based chips, and this might be one of its efforts regarding the matter. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.
