Back in September a report came out which revealed that Samsung might be looking to enter the GPU business.

Since the Korean tech giant is already producing its own CPUs, it seemed like a matter of time before Sammy would jump into the GPU bandwagon too.

A few months ago, we told you Samsung was busy recruiting key players inside NVIDIA, AMD and Intel and trying to get them to pour their efforts into developing this new GPU platform.

Samsung has already been busy developing new application processors that take advantage of the company’s own 64-bit CPU cores, which are to substitute ARM’s Cortex architecture that lives inside the current Exynos chips.

Samsung putting out own GPUs in mid-2015

Well, these chips will be joined by Samsung’s own GPU platform, which according to the latest information relayed to us by ZDNet Korea, will arrive upon us in mid-2015.

Current Exynos chips employ ARM’s Mali series of GPUs, but this might not be the case next year when the first GPU efforts coming from the Korean tech giant are expected to make an appearance.

If the information we’re presenting you here turns out to be accurate, it might mean that upcoming flagship smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will take advantage of this new GPU.

The report doesn’t really say anything about the 64-bit Samsung-developed CPU which we briefly mentioned above, but it make sense to assume when the chip is ready, Samsung will want to pair it directly with its in-house GPU.

Samsung is apparently looking to go all the way in severing ties with third-party supply chains and part manufacturers.

Rumor has it that Samsung is planning to build its next flagship phone, we’re talking about the Galaxy S6 from the ground up, which means the company will keep the manufacturing process locked behind closed doors and not allowing any interferences from the outside.

Will a Samsung GPU have chances to succeed?

The company might have been hit by some waves lately, but that doesn't mean they are looking to give up. Recently Samsung announced they would be launching 30% less smartphone models in 2015. Which is not a bad thing in itself, as it means the company will spend more time focusing on product design.

However, Samsung might be in for a rough start. Remember NVIDIA’s first chip, the NV1, that didn't turn out to be all that great? The company barely got it right with its third-generation graphic card, the RIVA TNT, so we shouldn't expect Samsung to get it right from the get-go.
