Samsung is one of the handfuls of smartphone companies that also develops its own processors or chips. The Exynos chips from the South Korean giant haven’t been able to match up to the offerings from Apple and Qualcomm.

Even though Samsung manufacturers chips, the company doesn’t have an exclusive lineup of processors for its own smartphones. But if the latest report is to be believed, then that is about the change soon.

As per the latest report, Samsung is planning to develop chipsets exclusively for its own smartphones. This is a major step from the South Korean giant as reports indicate the System LSI division which makes chips and the Mobile eXperience (MX) division for mobile phones do not have a very close relationship.

It is being claimed that for Samsung’s System LSI division, the MX unit of the company is just like other customers who procure chips. The mobile processors manufactured by Samsung are also used in phones from other brands, including Vivo.

The report adds that TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung MX Business said during a town hall meeting that Samsung will now make processors specifically for the Galaxy lineup of smartphones. It is also said that Samsung has internally acknowledged that its employees “have insufficient AP capabilities” and that’s not necessarily because they are lacking in talent, but also because of insufficient manpower.

Samsung has been trying to make its Exynos chips stand out from others and be on par with the premium offerings from Apple and Qualcomm. In line with that, the company switched from its Mongoose cores to ARM’s design, and the newly launched Exynos 2200 features GPU made in collaboration with AMD.
