After Samsung 's delays on its new Exynos processors for mobile, it is rumored to be working on an Exynos processor for Windows PCs . Despite the shortcomings and bad reviews, the company continues to promote Exynos processors.
A Twitter user from Argentina has claimed that Samsung is working on an ARM chip specifically for computers. This is supposedly based on the Exynos 1000 which could be the next after the Exynos 992 SoC , but we are not sure about that yet.
According to rumors, the processors could be called Exynos 1 or 100, but Samsung already has a 100 with the iT100 for IoT, but the naming is just an initial guess at this time.
Also, while it is said to be based on the Exynos 1000 , it could be based on the 5nm EUV process and contain the CPU ARM Cortex-X1 core , which is part of the CXC program .
ARM recently unveiled the CPU core and promised a 30% performance boost over the older A77 cores. Also, according to Sammobile , the company has already developed a PC of Samsung's Exynos 990 version but isn't quite sure about the chipset .
Windows laptops are already on the market aiming to be efficient and "always connected" computers with LTE and 5G.
Despite being ported to x86 and x64, Windows on ARM is still a viable option over time, although emulation is the temporary solution at the moment. Microsoft has already partnered with Qualcomm , and laptops like the early Lenovo Mixx 630 (1st generation Windows 10 ARM based on Snapdragon 835) and Surface Pro X show that Windows on ARM processors have great potential.
Its Exynos SoCs don't come out of the company's devices often. While it managed to close a deal with Vivo for the S6 5G to use Samsung's Exynos 980 SoC, the company has already moved on to others for its successors.
This could be due to the main issues that Exynos processors often face, such as lower performance and power consumption, compared to competitors like Qualcomm. Of course, Samsung could test the SoC in its own Galaxy Books before securing a deal with other suppliers.
