According to the first test results of Samsung, it will be on one of the important fronts in the mobile processor competition with the Exynos 2200. Samsung, which partnered with AMD for the graphics unit last year, is now getting into elbow contact with Jim Keller? The reason for this claim stems from a speech Keller made. Accordingly, the veteran name made an opening speech at the SAFE Forum, the annual foundry forum organized by Samsung.
Will Jim Keller team up for the new Samsung Exynos processor?
Having written his name in the history of the processor with golden letters, Jim Keller became the pioneer of new technologies that left their mark on the history of the processor in every company he went to. One of the important means of competition, especially on the AMD side and on the Intel side, was the transfer of Jim Keller.
Recently, Jim Keller laid the foundation for AMD’s Zen architecture, which has left its mark in recent years. Keller, who recently crossed paths with Intel, left his job in 2020 after a year of adventure. After this resignation, the veteran chip architect, who started working with a Canadian processor company working on artificial intelligence, allegedly now intends to return to the field with a large company.
This claim first appeared in the South Korean media. Jim Keller gave the keynote address at the third foundry forum (SAFE) organized by Samsung. In fact, the fact that Keller made this speech does not mean that the veteran chip architect agreed with Samsung.
On the other hand, Ice Universe included the possibility of this rapprochement in its Twitter post. But will Jim Keller really design the chip for the Samsung Exynos processor? Although we do not know the answer to this question, it is necessary to remember what kind of work Keller did.
Jim Keller and his processors
Jim Keller is one of the important processor architects especially for AMD. Previously, Intel came out of the hands of Jim Keller and his team, the AMD Athlon64 processor, which was an important breaking point in AMD competition. Keller’s signature is also under the A4 and A5 processors, which caused a new break in both Apple and the mobile processor world. The doyen, who also laid the foundation of AMD’s Zen architecture, recently developed Tesla’s artificial intelligence car processor. Jim Keller also has a great contribution on the first generation MacBook Air.
It is not yet clear whether this master name will go to Samsung. However, it is unlikely that Jim Keller will stay away from the competition of the processor world. There is a possibility that Samsung’s agreement with Jim Keller may change all the balances in the mobile processor world. In particular, Keller has recently made significant developments on artificial intelligence in both Tesla and the Toronto-based processor initiative. This may enable Samsung to gain a significant advantage in processor competition with Apple and Qualcomm.
Do you think Jim Keller can sit down with Samsung to develop a new Exynos processor? We are waiting your comments.
