Samsung promises a 64-bit mobile processor
Korean Samsung Electronics follows the path of Apple and states that close to completing work on his own mobile microprocessor with 64-bit architecture. Stephen Wu, president of Samsung LSI, says that the company uses a two-step approach - first, the company intends to base its processing on the existing and licensed 64-bit technology company ARM, secondly, it will create its own 64-bit solutions. "A lot of people think, why do we need a 64-bit mobile devices. People have asked this question three months ago. Today, no one asks about it. People say, when we can get them? "- Says Wu. Recall that the market's first 64-bit chips for mobile devices was the company Apple, which presented a 64-bit processor A7, based on the core ARM, but significantly modified and adapted engineers Apple. He works in the iPhone 5 and iPad Air. Wu did not say when it will finalize the Samsung processor, but stated that it is in line with the plans of Samsung. "We will offer the first 64-bit processor cores based on ARM, then we present a more optimized solutions with support for 64-bit and on the basis of our own decisions," - he said. He also noted that the 64-bit chips, mobile devices will become closer to the PC on the properties and capabilities. Modern processors in mobile devices and tablets have a 32-bit architecture. If the amount of RAM on your smartphone or tablet than 4 GB, the device in any case need a 64-bit chip, because 32-bit can not address more than 4 GB. On the market today there is no chip with 4 GB of RAM or more. Also, the company stated that the overall plan to increase investments in research and applied research. Parallel to this, Samsung said it plans to double the size of dividends and discusses its ADR listing on the U.S. stock market. At present, the paper presents Samsung in Seoul. The last step will make the company more understandable for international investors and make it easier for Samsung to attract capital to the current operating needs. On the other hand, the company is in the not too traditional for the IT giant step - the company plans to open its shares for individual non-professional investors, as this will raise the volume of trading in shares of Samsung, making them more liquid and lifting the share price. Among say that this year they are planning to get a global revenue of 211 billion dollars, while in 2020 this figure increased to 400 billion dollars. If Samsung is not going to follow the path of Western companies are actively buying up startups with new technologies. The Samsung say they plan to develop through internal innovation. In 2014, the company plans to make a bet on one of these innovations - flexible displays, on the basis of which will be made not only smartphones, but also tablets, readers, televisions and other developments.
