Snapdragon 865 Orders May Not Be Given to Samsung; Qualcomm May Want to
Retain Superiority Over Exynos Chips
骁龙 865订单可能不会下单给三星；高通公司可能希望保持优于Exynos芯片的优势
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.
除了华为和一部分三星手机外，大部分的android厂商都选择用高通的骁龙芯片。
但是，据指出最新的S11会大部分采用骁龙865，因为三星认为骁龙芯片比自家的还
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.
同时，这家韩国巨头希望增加其芯片代工业务，唯一的办法就是从高通那里获得新订单。
根据一份新的报告，高通打算保持领先于三星的领先地位并获得这种优势，所以不想把
骁龙865的订单给三星
Qualcomm May Think That Providing Snapdragon 865 Orders May Lead Samsung to
Make a Proper Exynos Equivalent SoC
高通公司可能认为提供Snapdragon 865订单可能会导致三星制造适当的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.
最初认为Snapdragon 865将由三星制造，但一份新报告称，该订单改为移交给了台积电
。 这显然不是因为高通公司认为台积电更好，而是因为据报导它不希望三星知道其商业
秘密和设计图，然后可以将其用于改进自己的Exynos芯片组。
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，显然中端的Snapdragon 765和Snapdragon 765G芯片仍将由三星制造，但无论
如何它们都不是高通的皇冠上的珍珠。 在某种程度上，获得Snapdragon 765和
Snapdragon 765G订单对于这家韩国巨头来说是个好消息，因为其市场份额最近明显减少
了，而台积电仍然继续主导该行业。
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.
由于三星在性能和效率方面都处于劣势，因此关闭了其自主核心开发设施，并且据此无
法竞争，因此高通似乎没有什么可担心的。 但是，事实证明，高通仍然希望安全起见
并保护其知识产权。
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.
苹果和华为已经制造了自己的芯片组，因此他们对此最不关心。 OPPO显然还计划制造自
己的SoC来为其手机供电。 不与三星共享其设计，不下订单来进一步削弱业务，这
听起来像是高通公司务实的决定。 否则，在最坏的情况下，三星可能会超越它，但这在
目前是非常不可能的。
心得：
苹果早就知道了，高通拖了这么久才知道。
只要不把最好的芯片下单给三星，三星自己的芯片就搞不出来了～
