Details revealed at analyst event point to 2014 phones with 64-bit CPUs and 5.25-inch 1440p displays
In its first analyst event of the smartphone era, Samsung revealed a few juicy details about the technology behind its future smartphone plans. In slides released in conjunction with the event, the electronics giant confirmed plans to develop its own CPU core technology, as opposed to licensing designs from ARM as it does now. The slide on Samsung's 64-bit CPU plans shows a two-step approach, first developing 64-bit cores based on ARM designs, then moving to its own bespoke designs, similar to the way Qualcomm operates. The plans could be seen as a way for Samsung's phones to become even more vertically-integrated. Some Samsung phones already use Exynos SoCs manufactured in-house, but these use Cortex A15 and A7 designs licensed from ARM.
