Hail to the new king baby! :) That is massive achievement, Considering future is in the mobile chipset, Intel still the best at desktop and I hope they will not slow down and keep making those amazing cpus

However, the technology has come a long way since and therefore no matter how difference since the technology has roots they have to pay the patents for it no matter how much more advanced it is now.

Just to do a 2 cm crapp does not mean you actually are a CPU's manufacturer. Intel has more knowlege in the field then samesung will ever gather in 3000 years. Wake up people and stop kissing a**. Arm processors are as useless as a smartphone in the real work.

Heck, you can make something entirely from scratch and still won't avoid SOME patent to pay up for.

So it's false to claim that they are just a software company.

Anonymous, 28 Jul 2017Should the credit not be given to ARM because of which these companies ever created a chipset ??The credit is paid in royalties.

Ha ha this is funny. Intel has been making chips for desktops for decades now and now Samsung outdoing them by just making mobile chips. Number of mobile users a lot more than PC users but who cares, old folks like us can't be bothered with news like this, but still this funny.

Also, the chip business is cruel. AMD is using the Samsung process for all of their Ryzen CPUs and all graphics. AMD used to own foundries, that they had to sell due to Intel's monopoly violations, that AMD could not rebuy by the time Intel had to pay their penalties to AMD. Those foundries are now Global Foundries, which use the Samsung process. Ironic, isn't it?
