Samsung’s Mobile eXperience (MX) team is said to be working on a bespoke chipset for future Galaxy flagship phones. However, it is still in its early stages and does not support the Galaxy S23 series. However, development has progressed far enough that TM Roh plans to announce a new chipset in his S23. ice universe). Are you ready for next year’s S24 series?
The answer may be “no”, as Yogesh Brar informed us that the “Snapdragon Mobile Platform for Galaxy” is not just for this year, but will be used next year as well.
The Galaxy S23 chipset is the SM8550-AC, a variant of the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (model number SM8550-AB) that runs the CPU and GPU at higher clock speeds. Qualcomm has released AC chips several times in the past, so this is nothing new, but this time Samsung has exclusive rights to the AC chips.
I don’t know if it’s a limited time exclusivity. That is, if other manufacturers will be able to use the overclocked chips later this year. Brar says the Snapdragon for Galaxy program will run until Samsung MX’s in-house chipset is ready, after which the exclusive program may jump to another brand.
That may not be until 2025. Assuming TM Roh gives us a sneak peek at what’s to come, we’ll know more after the Galaxy S23 announcement.
