The Apple M1 System-on-Chip (SoC) launched in November powers four macs and two iPad Pro versions already. M1 MacBook reviewers praised the chip’s speed and energy efficiency, prompting Intel to mount a massive campaign against M1 laptops. At the time, we explained that Intel isn’t necessarily afraid that M1 MacBook sales will steal a significant share of sales that usually goes to Intel and AMD Windows 10 laptop makers. The M1 success will empower Apple competitors to create similar processors that could be used in mobile devices and laptops, offering notebook vendors an alternative to Intel’s costly mobile chips.
Samsung, Qualcomm, and even Google are the kind of companies that could create M1 equivalents, we explained at the time, considering the recent rumors in the industry. It turns out that Samsung might indeed launch its first M1 SoC competitor, an Exynos-branded chip that might power both smartphones and laptops as soon as this year.
