Samsung might stay away from in-house GPU for now. In this new era of technology, Samsung proves itself many times. Their share in the world cell phone market is around 30%, which is a huge achievement for the company.

The Korean tech giant has managed to stay firmly on top in this cutthroat competition of the market with its latest devices. The company having self builds Operating System as well as Processor also.

In recent times, Samsung has been moving away from generic chip architecture and go towards the in-house development of Exynos technology.

Samsung’s silicon has proven to be quite powerful and versatile, and consequently, a major market hit.

Despite all the custom-tailored technology that goes into the Exynos SoCs, it is a fact that Samsung still relies on standard ARM graphics for the chips. The move towards custom graphics cores seems only logical and has, in fact, been the subject of a lot of rumors and speculations. However, industry sources no hint that Samsung has delayed work on custom mobile graphics by as much as five years.

Earlier reports suggested a possible AMD buyout, a step that would fuel the in-house GPU development significantly. That possibility is still on the table, but it is unlikely that Samsung will step away from ARM’s Mali chips in the foreseeable future. And frankly, it has good reasons for sticking with the industry standard.

For one, ARM has proven time and time again to be a reliable partner, staying on the cutting edge of innovation and delivering comparable and often better performance than competitors, such as Adreno and PowerVR. Still, Samsung might already be working toward custom GPU’s in the long run.

The company has allegedly managed to lure engineers from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel to spearhead the research, so the possibility of an entirely in-house developed Exynos chipset is still very high, albeit probably not in the next five years or so.
