Samsung to jump into laptop processor market with Exynos chip in H2

That was my thought when I read it as well, and I have to scroll all the way down to find this comment.

AMD said part of the reason why they partner with Samsung was because they dont compete in Mobile Phone. Which is a valid point. But now Samsung is competing directly in Laptop and PC using these tech. As a tech enthusiast of course I want to see this ARM / AMD Graphics combination. But as an investor I am thinking If we were mislead in a way.

And if this true does it mean AMD is open to license AMD graphics IP?

This is not the first time this happens. There was an Intel CPU with AMD's GPU.

AMD didn't license their IP to Intel. It was a collaboration with AMD GPU fabbed on TSMC and linked together via Intel EMIB.

It could be a good market for AMD. There a tons of companies designing their own ARM processors, but who don't have the resources to also create a GPU. Nvidia is completely absent from that market, at least currently, so it might be a easy way for AMD to push their GPU design.

From a business POV yes. I just dont like companies that lie. Of course at the moment this is still a rumour.
