Samsung e Qualcomm, separazione in vista?


Samsung pare stia pensando seriamente ad emanciparsi da Qualcomm, aumentando la propria autonomia durante la fase produttiva dei dispositivi, soprattutto in riferimento ai tablet e agli smartphone.

La convinzione di Samsung, infatti, รจ di essere in grado di produrre da sola i chip necessari al funzionamento dei modelli, cosรฌ come emerso dalle pesantissime parole pronunciate da un suo portavoce di recente: “Samsungโ€™s single-chip solution is a combination of long-term evolution (LTE), telecommunications and W-CDMA functions.ย We donโ€™t think there will be big technology-related problems as we have already tested our telecommunications chips in some smartphones and tablets for consumers in North America. Also, Googleโ€™s first reference mobile, the Galaxy Nexus, is using Samsung’s telecom chips.ย Samsung has a stronger intent to lower its dependence on Qualcomm and our technicians believe that we have made significant progress in producing logic-based chips for high-end devices, combined logic and memory chips for graphic controllers and core communication chips for Internet-enabled consumer devices.ย Samsung is paying huge amounts to Qualcomm in return for using its single-chip solutions in strategic digital devices, however, Qualcomm is gradually losing its edge”.

Insomma, Samsung si appresta a fare un passo davvero importante nel suo processo di crescita.
