Not simply MediaTek chips, thoughts, however MediaTek Dimensity chips (presumably the Dimensity 9400) alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Samsung’s personal Exynos 2500.

This, nonetheless, is way from a given, contemplating how even as we speak’s rumor is simply saying the corporate may do that, not that it has already determined. The reasoning behind such a transfer has to do with Qualcomm’s oft-rumored worth hike for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 coupled with the not-so-great yields on the Exynos 2500.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is rumored to price round $190-200, whereas the 8 Gen 4 could be as a lot as $260 per unit. The Exynos 2500 yield is at present at about 40%, however 60% is required with a view to begin mass manufacturing. Nonetheless, Samsung plans to enhance this by August.
If the Exynos yields keep low and contemplating how costly Qualcomm’s subsequent high-end chip will likely be, it very effectively might serve Samsung so as to add in MediaTek to the combination – or at the very least attempt to use such a menace as a negotiating tactic with Qualcomm.
