In the past, Samsung produced proprietary cores that were then used in smartphone processors, but the department responsible for their production was closed. However, everything indicates that the South Korean company seriously thinks about returning to the production of proprietary processor cores.
The latest rumors indicate that Samsung is probing the employment of former engineers working for Apple and AMD. Their task would be to develop proprietary cores for processors used in Samsung's phones. One of the reasons for such decisions may be dissatisfaction with the performance offered by Cortex-X cores. Not only Samsung is thinking about creating proprietary cores for processors. A similar decision was made by Qualcomm, which took over Nuvia, firm founded by former Apple employees who were involved in the creation of units such as the M1 and A14 in the past.
