One of the biggest unknowns about the Samsung Galaxy S25 family is its processors. While the company has had issues with the per-wafer yield of its three-nanometer lithography for over a year, competitors continue to rely on TSMC as a secure solution.

TSMC’s manufacturing processes are behind the top processors from Qualcomm and MediaTek, which have demonstrated outstanding performance in recent years. So much so that Samsung equipped its flagship S24 Ultra with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Although Samsung claims that the performance is also excellent, its younger siblings have settled for Exynos chips.

In a publication by AlphaChip, one of the divisions of the Google DeepMind team, Google overlooked a very interesting information: We will have Samsung phones with MediaTek processors.

Google DeepMind published an entry about AlphaChip on its website. In the latest version, the previous lines are not visible, but when you look at the version before the correction, some important lines are visible.

“External organizations are also adopting and developing AlphaChip. For example, MediaTek, one of the world’s leading chip design companies, has expanded AlphaChip to accelerate the development of Samsung’s most advanced chips, such as the Dimensity Flagship 5G used in mobile phones. We are improving the area.”

MediaTek, which is on the verge of introducing its new Dimensity 9400 processor to compete with the future Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, will be one of the first companies to invest in Google DeepMind technology when developing its new chips.

In the introduction, Google tells us that MediaTek’s flagship processor, or at least its flagship series, will be present in Samsung mobiles. MediaTek’s flagship series consists of 9XXX models, and Samsung only uses high-end processors in its high-end mobile phones.

When we connect the dots, it is not unreasonable to think that MediaTek and Samsung have formed an alliance. According to leaks, the price of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will jump to $ 240. Reducing production costs through an alliance where the processor is partitioned by region, as Samsung has done with Exynos in the past, is a realistic move.
