Previously it was believed that Qualcomm would split orders Qualcomm does not seem to want to produce the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC at Samsung factories. [caption id="attachment_85303" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Samsung[/caption] Samsung will not receive orders from Qualcomm again. Previously, the company said that it was interested in diversifying production, hinting that against the backdrop of Samsung's success in mastering new technological processes, the company could again begin ordering flagship platforms from the Korean giant. Now it is reported that Qualcomm has decided to give all orders for Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 again only to TSMC. Qualcomm has reportedly decided not to rely on Samsung due to its inconsistent die yield and conservative expansion strategy, whatever that means. However, the launch of mass production of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is still quite far away, so Qualcomm boards may well change.

But there are many reasons Samsung has increased its costs for the purchase of single-chip systems for smartphones several times in recent years. [caption id="attachment_85214" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] According to insider Revegnus, in the first three quarters of this year, Samsung spent almost $7 billion on this area, which is 10.4% more than in the same period last year. The growth is not very significant, however, for the entire 2021, only $4.8 billion was spent on these same tasks, for 2020 - 4.3 billion, and in 2019 the amount was only 2.3 billion. But even Samsung budget phones now have normal performance. Of course, a significant part of the growth is due to the constant rise in price of the flagship SoC Snapdragon 8. Let us recall that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 allegedly cost $160 at the start. In addition, we must add inflation and, in general, rising prices for semiconductor products. Part of the increase in costs may be due to the fact that inexpensive Samsung devices have finally begun to receive completely normal platforms, and not SoCs that are head and shoulders inferior to competitors in the same price range. It is also worth saying that rising platform costs are an additional incentive for Samsung to further develop its own Exynos SoCs. Insider Revegnus was the first to publish a photo of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 before its release, reported on the AMD GPU in the Exynos 1480 SoC, and also described the characteristics of the Exynos 2400, which were then confirmed in Geekbench software.
