Samsung may have its own answer to Apple Silicon and may announce a new series of Exynos-powered notebooks at the next Galaxy Unpacked event. This event is currently scheduled for April 28.

This is according to ZDNet Korea, which reports that Samsung's next machine will combine AMD's graphics technology with the tentatively named "Exynos 2200" chipset. That laptop will reportedly be available later this year.

In recent years, several companies, including Samsung, have designed machines with processors that are neither Intel nor AMD-made. However, those machines are running on Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset, making this the first time that the latest Windows laptops will be launched with chips from the same manufacturer.

Microsoft's Surface Pro X uses Microsoft's SQ1 or SQ2 processors, which are manufactured in partnership with Qualcomm.

After Apple's success with the M1 chip, it is not difficult to see why other companies would want to capitalize on this current trend. Unfortunately, Qualcomm virtually dominates the ARM chip market for Windows, and there are still app compatibility issues to worry about.

Samsung has been developing Exynos chips for the past decade. Therefore, like Apple, it is in a great position to launch new notebooks with its own processors; ZDNet Korea's sources say that AMD will be in charge of graphics, but the company should still have more control over the performance of its notebooks. It should be able to do so.

Of course, not all companies will be able to replicate the success of Apple Silicon right away; the Exynos 2200 could be a breakthrough for Samsung's laptops, which may face similar performance and compatibility issues as an equivalent Qualcomm chipset It may have the same performance and compatibility issues as an equivalent Qualcomm chipset.

Whatever happens, more diversity in the chip market can only be a good thing; the M1 chip offers incredible advantages over Intel-based processors. Not only did the MacBook Pro M1 and MacBook Air M1 beat most Windows PCs in benchmark tests, but in our own tests, the battery life was significantly improved.

Other laptop makers have a lot of catching up to do, but it remains to be seen if Samsung can go toe-to-toe with Apple Silicon.
