Samsung did not release the processor version at the GS4 launch. At that time, many computer users believed that this was a manifestation of Samsung's weakening hardware configuration and emphasizing software functions. However, according to the current trend, the situation is far from simple. In addition to the fact that Samsung's own eight core processors will not be used in North America, many European versions of GS4 will also be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processors.

Early this morning, Samsung's official blog in the UK answered that GS4 When the processing version will be used, it will be replied to:

"The Samsung Galaxy S4 has two versions, one is equipped with a 1.9GHz quad core SoC, and the other is equipped with a 1.6GHz eight core SoC. The exact version depends on the regional market. In the UK, the GS4 will be equipped with a 1.9GHz quad core version that supports 4G LTE networks."

That is to say, after the North American GS4 is equipped with a Qualcomm processor, another European GS4 is equipped with a Snapdragon 600 processor. We can't help wondering whether Samsung's eight core processor still exists?

Analysis - What happened to the eight core processor?

review

Maybe the fans and editors have more or less questions. As one of the selling points of GS4, the eight core processor, why is it frequently diving? First of all, let's review the developments after the GS4 launch. At the end of the launch, Samsung did not indicate the processor version on the GS4 configuration. It is predicted that the US version will use a Qualcomm processor to support 4G LTE, which is almost no surprise. GS3 has also adopted the same scheme before.

After the press conference, with the launch of pre-sales by operators in various countries. The question about the processor version has also been put on the table. The operator has to explain the product information to the consumer when he wants to sell something. Therefore, the processor version problem has gradually emerged. Then Sweden and Denmark took the lead in Europe（ In addition to the US version, the Swedish Galaxy S4 will also be equipped with Snapdragon 600 processor ）The latest news this morning is that the British version is also equipped with Snapdragon 600 processor.

reason

Now, in addition to the popularity of 4G LTE high-speed networks in the United States (North America), Europe, especially some Nordic countries, has also begun to popularize 4G LTE networks. In the UK, the operator EE has already provided LTE networks. Other operators are also building 4G networks, and 4G has become a trend. Due to the built-in baseband version of the Qualcomm processor, 4G support is also relatively complete. Therefore, the Qualcomm processor is of course the first choice.

Next is the supply of Exynos 5 Octa. The mass production of this processor is still immature, and the real mass production may not start until the second quarter. As Samsung's flagship machine, the GS4 has a huge market demand. Samsung certainly doesn't want the problem of parts supply to affect the sales volume of GS4. At this point, we have to choose Qualcomm processors that have begun mass production. Therefore, it can be predicted that the eight core Exyno 5 Octa version of GS4 will be sold in countries without 4G LTE (or just at the initial stage), and the launch time of this version should also be in the second quarter.
