Samsung and GlobalFoundries to Produce Apple's 14-nm A9 Chips in 2015

Complex photo editing.
Faster compression.
And a lot more, but I'm no specialist.

Yeap, that's why I stopped posting, I'll leave the people that think it's koolaide to state you hate anything Samsung makes.

No, you stopped posting because you didn't know how to answer the legitimate points I raised.
You keep on playing the strawman card. I never said I hate the products Samsung makes. I said I don't like the company, and I think I have good reasons for that.

This kind of comment is actually really immature. I've been following Macrumors for a long time but didn't notice the comment sections were like that. I don't get all the hostility. All that because I'm saying that I don't like Samsung. The company Apple battled in court. That's ridiculous.

Oh I can reply alright, it's just not worth it, what reason do you have to not like Samsung then?

So I get to answer your comment, but you don't get to answer mine? It doesn't work like that pal.

You don't want discussion, fine.

Samsung just won the SSD market with drives that crush all the competition yet again.

They have some geniuses working for them as they seem to nail the competition to the walls with their components.

I thought the 840, EVO, 840 Pro were great, but they had competition. The consistency on those drives weren't too good. With the 850 Pro though, it's a beast and does crush the competition.

As evidenced by the thousands and thousands of phones out on the market, 64-bits is required for exactly none of those things.
 
I am curious how this process works....

So I assume apple designs the chip, then they give the chip plans to samsung and GlobalFoundries then they manufacture the chips and send them back to apple.

Does this mean that if the chip comes from Samsung or GlobalFoundries the chips will be exactly identical?

Every company has some genii working for them, that's not the point. It's the culture that makes the difference. Samsung's culture is find, copy, improve, fragment, see what sticks, drop price, market to idiots, find something new to copy.

Pretty much what :apple: and other companies' culture.
 
Samsung do make quality components such as ssds, ram,. However thir own products are far from the peak they once held a few years ago. Their latest generation of TVs are far from anything more than average, when compared to pioneer and sony, they may have more bloatware and additional (useless imho) perks, but lack the same clarity, depth, vibrancy and ultimately image clarity as the sony TVs.

As for their phones and tablets, i would rather pass. ;)

Please... EVERY succesful tech firm is guilty of that same judgement.

Hell, even Apple.

Easy quick example? Drag down notifications. Who'd they steal that from again? That's right, Android. ;)

...oh another example? The card based multitasking. Who'd they steal that from again? Oh that's right, PalmOS and later, Windows Phone. ;)

Translation = come off it. Samsung is no better or worse than Apple, or anyone else. They all copy, see what sticks and market to the lowest common denominator.

And the 64-bit part is needed for...?

Nothing. ARM processors support already 128-Bit (NEON) instructions and acceleration for floating point calculations.

wikipedia.org said:
...
NEON can execute MP3 audio decoding on CPUs running at 10 MHz and can run the GSM adaptive multi-rate (AMR) speech codec at no more than 13 MHz.

MHz, NOT GHz! :)

It's TSMC who have dropped out because of low yields, not Samsung, and all that means is that TSMC haven't got their 14-nm process sorted out yet, which isn't a problem that's specific to any particular chip, it will affect everything they try to make at 14-nm scale.

Oh, I misunderstood the report then.
Phew. :D

So you're basically a hypocrite then? Firstly you state you have a Samsung phone, then state you avoid Samsung products at all cost. And are you not buying a Mac because it may have a Samsung component in it?
Click to expand...

How am I a hypocrite by being objective and having giving the company a chance? Actually more like 2nd or 3rd chance. It's not like I just got the phone yesterday.

No I'm not buying a mac because I don't want a mac.

Their TVs are NOT exceptional, I don't know what you're talking about. Their colors are bad, their clarity is way off. They make terrible TVs end of story.

And?

I'm not some just random brand racist who doesn't like the brand for no reason. I've had Samsung products a plenty and been around them at a recent job (TVs) to know how terrible they are.

When Apple refused to come out with a large screen iPhone I gave the Galaxy S4 a shot.
Click to expand...


their TVs are perfectly fine. They have so many ranges that calling them all TERRIBLE confirms your dogmatic bias. They actually are some of the best, who's better? Sony? LG? Pioneer? There's not much competition left.

I got an S4 also for the bigger screen and now o want either a Note or 5.5" iPhone

Actually no. What's Apples culture is basically is


Identify problem, think, think like it's Star Trek, look at what others are doing to see failures, think, think reaaaallly hard, prototype, test, think, prototype, test, think, revaluate, think, does the solution solve the problem elegantly? YES{prototype, test, think,prototype, test, test, test manufacture in bulk, test, test, make Keynote, announce} NO{Set fire to it, start from the beginning}.

Most other companies do not do this. It's not that Samsung is exceptionally bad, it's that Apple is exceptionally good. The vocal 1% tech bloggers/forums junkies (card carrying member here) are the only ones that find Apple's blunders 99% of the time. For example during the Maps "Disaster," my non tech family was using it all the time and never even realized it changed. I didn't say anything to them just to see what their untainted reaction was. Lesson? Even in Apple's "worst" moments, it's customers are nearly universally happy and satisfied with the product, because Apple does NOT develop products like most other companies.

:rolleyes:

A mothers eyes find beauty in an ugly son.

Please, Apple is a business looking to make money, the most money possible. They're no different. Any interpretaion you have otherwise comes from biased perspective.
