Samsung to begin CPU development optimized for Galaxy [Report]
Chipset is the brain behind any kind of smart device including smartphones, tablets, and wearables. With a well-optimized processor, the device can deliver great performance by taking the benefit of powerful hardware. Samsung reportedly plans to begin CPU core development optimized for Galaxy.
According to the information, Samsung is expected to introduce the first Galaxy-optimized chipset with its own developed CPU in 2027 if the development is carried out as planned. Through this, the company will be able to expand the competition level and capability of its Galaxy-exclusive chip.
Industry sources also revealed that the company has recently organized an internal team dedicated to CPU core development. The vendor has hired a senior developer that was responsible for CPU development at U.S. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) to lead the team.
“Samsung Electronics will be able to boost the completion level of its Galaxy Chip if it successfully develops a CPU core. It will be able to load its own CPU in 2027 if development is carried out as planned” said an unnamed industry official.
The South Korean tech giant wants to reduce its reliance on British chip design house ARM Ltd. for central processing unit (CPU) core for smartphones and personal computers. Moreover, it will help the chipset to be further optimized with Galaxy devices.
Samsung Elec is rapidly moving forward to develop Galaxy-dedicated processors for future flagship devices. The System LSI Division has also established an AP solution development team late last year with the mobile eXperience (MX) business to promote research and development.
It’s worth mentioning that the dream chip could be available in 2025, which will use a CPU based on ARM technology. Next year, we believe, the flagship Galaxy devices will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon for Galaxy processors.
Samsung has unveiled two new battery packs with powerful performance using recycled materials. The launch, scheduled for the 19th, introduces the PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh and the PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh. Both of these battery incorporate 30% UL-certified recycled plastic in their design, marking a stride in reducing carbon emissions.
The ‘PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh’ offers a high capacity for charging, with a maximum output of 45W and three USB-C ports, allowing for simultaneously charging multiple devices. However, the actual charging speed may vary based on several factors, including the devices connected and charging conditions.
On the other hand, the ‘PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh’ provides the convenience of wireless charging, along with a wired charging capability of up to 25W. It comes with two USB-C ports, making it possible to charge up to three devices at once when combining wired and wireless charging.
Both battery packs comply with the USB PD 3.0 standard, ensuring quick and efficient charging for Samsung Galaxy products and other compatible devices.
The LPDDR6 market is expected to bloom as early as next year, as the new on-device AI memory is on the way with the latest LPDDR6 standard finalization taking place in Q3 2024. If the standard is confirmed in the third quarter, LPDDR will secure a new standard for the first time in five years.
Going toward the details, the International Semiconductor Standard Organization (JEDEC) recently held discussions on the next-generation mobile RAM standard. The meeting proceeded with the finalization process to finalize the LPDDR6 standard.
An official in the semiconductor industry said,
- “We have held various discussions to confirm the LPDDR6 standard specification,” and it will be released in the third quarter of this year.”
To be mentioned, the JEDEC is a private organization that establishes semiconductor standards, that is, sizes and specifications, and more than 60 people from memory, system semiconductor, and design asset (IP) companies participated in this Lisbon meeting.

Furthermore, the LPDDR6 standard will be established with a focus on improving data processing performance as the demand for on-device AI to perform large-scale AI calculations on smartphones, laptops, and tablet PCs is rapidly increasing. In addition, the power consumption standard will also be improved.
However, once the LPDDR6 standard is confirmed, major memory manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are expected to begin commercializing their products in earnest.
Microsoft has announced the launch of a new AI chatbot that can help finance workers with common tasks in Excel and Outlook. The Copilot for Finance is currently in public preview and will be available for purchase soon.
The Copilot for Finance is part of Microsoft’s vision to empower every department with a Copilot, a smart assistant that can generate natural-sounding text or other content with minimal human input.

As per the information (via CNBC), the Copilot for Finance can perform functions such as variance analysis, data reconciliation, and collections process in Outlook, using data from SAP and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Microsoft plans to add more features to the Copilot for Finance later this year.
Microsoft’s corporate vice president Charles Lamanna said that the Copilot for Finance was developed with input from Microsoft’s finance department. He also said that the Japanese advertising agency Dentsu will be one of the first customers to use the Copilot for Finance.
