Snapdragon 865 Orders May Not Be Given to Samsung; Qualcomm May Want to
Retain Superiority Over Exynos Chips

驍龍 865訂單可能不會下單給三星；高通公司可能希望保持優於Exynos芯片的優勢


Most Android manufacturers use Qualcomm Snapdragon chips to power their
handsets, with the exception of Huawei who makes its own silicon, and
Samsung, which power some of its smartphones with its own Exynos chipset.
However, recently it was reported that most variants of the Galaxy S11 will
be underpinned by the Snapdragon 865 as the South Korean giant believes it is
better than its own silicon, the Exynos 990.

除了華為和一部分三星手機外，大部分的android廠商都選擇用高通的驍龍晶片。
但是，據指出最新的S11會大部分採用驍龍865，因為三星認為驍龍晶片比自家的還
要好用

At the same time, the Korean giant wants to increase its chip foundry
business and the only way it can is take new orders from Qualcomm. According
to a new report, Qualcomm intends to maintain its lead over Samsung and to
obtain that edge, Snapdragon 865 orders may not be given to Samsung.

同時，這家韓國巨頭希望增加其芯片代工業務，唯一的辦法就是從高通那裡獲得新訂單。
根據一份新的報告，高通打算保持領先於三星的領先地位並獲得這種優勢，所以不想把
驍龍865的訂單給三星


Qualcomm May Think That Providing Snapdragon 865 Orders May Lead Samsung to
Make a Proper Exynos Equivalent SoC

高通公司可能認為提供Snapdragon 865訂單可能會導致三星製造適當的Exynos等效SoC

It was initially believed that the Snapdragon 865 will be made by Samsung,
but a new report says that the order instead went to TSMC. That’s apparently
not because Qualcomm thinks TSMC is any better, but because it reportedly
doesn’t want Samsung to know its trade secrets and design drawings which it
can then potentially use to improve its own Exynos chipsets.

最初認為Snapdragon 865將由三星製造，但一份新報告稱，該訂單改為移交給了台積電
。 這顯然不是因為高通公司認為台積電更好，而是因為據報導它不希望三星知道其商業
秘密和設計圖，然後可以將其用於改進自己的Exynos芯片組。

On the other hand, the mid-tier Snapdragon 765 and Snapdragon 765G chips will
apparently still be manufactured by Samsung, but they aren’t Qualcomm’s
crown jewel by any means. In one way, getting Snapdragon 765 and Snapdragon
765G orders is good news for the South Korean giant, as its market share has
apparently reduced in recent times, while TSMC still continues to dominate
the industry.

另一方面，顯然中端的Snapdragon 765和Snapdragon 765G芯片仍將由三星製造，但無論
如何它們都不是高通的皇冠上的珍珠。 在某種程度上，獲得Snapdragon 765和
Snapdragon 765G訂單對於這家韓國巨頭來說是個好消息，因為其市場份額最近明顯減少
了，而台積電仍然繼續主導該行業。

With Samsung having shut down its custom core development facility due to
being inferior in both performance and efficiency, and by extension, not
competitive, it seems that Qualcomm has nothing to worry about. However, it
turns out that the manufacturer still wants to be on the safe side and guard
its intellectual property.

由於三星在性能和效率方面都處於劣勢，因此關閉了其自主核心開發設施，並且據此無
法競爭，因此高通似乎沒有什麼可擔心的。 但是，事實證明，高通仍然希望安全起見
並保護其知識產權。

Apple and Huawei already make their own chipsets so they are least bothered
about this. OPPO is apparently also planning to make its own SoC to power its
phones. Not sharing its design with Samsung and weakening its business
further by not giving its order sounds like a pragmatic decision on Qualcomm’
s end. Otherwise, in the worst-case scenario, Samsung might overtake it down
the road, but that’s very unlikely for now.

蘋果和華為已經製造了自己的芯片組，因此他們對此最不關心。 OPPO顯然還計劃製造自
己的SoC來為其手機供電。 不與三星共享其設計，不下訂單來進一步削弱業務，這
聽起來像是高通公司務實的決定。 否則，在最壞的情況下，三星可能會超越它，但這在
目前是非常不可能的。


心得：

蘋果早就知道了，高通拖了這麼久才知道。
只要不把最好的晶片下單給三星，三星自己的晶片就搞不出來了～
