Samsung with its Exynos, Qualcomm with its Snapdragons, Huawei with its Kirin and Mediatek with its… Mediatek chipsets. These four companies are the ones that dominate the semiconductor sector in the world of Android smartphones in a monopolistic way practically since its existence. However, they could soon receive competition from Google.
According to new information given to the leak as truthful, the Mountain View tech maker is preparing to enter the smartphone processor segment with your new and first chipset. The report also indicates that Samsung is the firm in charge of designing it.
After having considered alternative suppliers to the South Korean one, and having seriously thought about building it by own hands, Google has decided that Samsung is the best fit for your needs to build a custom chipset for future smartphones.

Based on the report, it will be a Google Exynos chipset. This will have two Cortex-A78 cores, two A76 and four A55 cores, which result in an octa-core processor. The GPU selected for it will be a Mali MP20 based on a new ARM architecture, whose filtered code name is "Borr" and would be better than the current ones. However, it should be noted that the A78 and 'Borr' cores have not yet been officially announced, so we do not yet know the details of their specifications.

As data to take into account, the Cortex-A77 presents a performance greater than 20%, compared to the Cortes-A76. Therefore, We expect a substantial and key performance increase in the Cortex-A78 over its predecessors. Because of this, it is clear that we will get a high-performance chipset that will possibly be found only in future Pixel 5s, upcoming Google flagships, and future smartphones of the brand.
