Usually, leaked information comes from netizens, but sometimes it comes from an unknown source, as in today's new hint about a chipset that may be in Samsung's Galaxy S25 series

In an article on the Google DeepMind website (discovered by NotebookCheck), the Google team They seem to be hinting at this

DeepMind's blog focuses on AlphaChip design and the design of processors for AI integration, which is relevant to the future of AI in smartphones, but is a bit odd because it does not specifically mention what hardware Samsung's devices will feature It's a curious leak [For example, MediaTek, one of the world's top chip design firms, has expanded its AlphaChip to accelerate development of cutting-edge chips like the Dimensity Flagship 5G used in Samsung phones, while improving power, performance, and chip area

MediaTek's next flagship chipset will be the Dimensity 9400; a line from the DeepMind blog suggests that Samsung may not adopt Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset across the board for its S25 lineup next year which seems to confirm earlier reports that the company will not be using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset in its S25 lineup The rumor is that Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra will be powered by Qualcomm's next-generation processor, while the rest of the lineup will be Dimensity system-on-chip

Samsung took a somewhat similar approach with this year's Galaxy S24 lineup, but in this case it used either a Qualcomm chip or its own Exynos silicon; the Galaxy S24 Ultra will only use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the S24 and S 24 Plus models only used this silicon In the rest of the world, these phones ran on the Exynos 2400 chipset

In June, it was reported that Samsung was considering non-Qualcomm chips for next year's phones, primarily because of cost Qualcomm's new chips are expected to raise manufacturing costs by at least 20% Samsung's Exynos chips will likely not launch as the company struggles to produce its internal chipsets in a viable manner

The DeepMind article was published over a week ago, and reports focusing on the quote only surfaced this week As of today (October 8), the quote has been edited to remove references to the Dimensity chip and Samsung

The article states: “For example, MediaTek, one of the world's top chip design firms, has expanded its AlphaChip to accelerate development of cutting-edge chips while improving power consumption, performance and chip area

Not only has the quote been changed, but it also shows that this page was hastily edited

This may imply that Samsung and MediaTek are not ready to release that information to the public, or that a deal is still in the works between Samsung and Qualcomm to include an upgraded Snapdragon chip in all upcoming Galaxy S25 phones This may imply that there is a possibility

The recently announced Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and S10 Plus tablets both feature the Dimensity 9300+ as their main CPU

Qualcomm will hold its annual Qualcomm Summit later this month, where it will unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 In past summits, Samsung has remained silent about its plans for the chip, but there could potentially be an announcement regarding devices that will feature the chip

If the summit did not yield any news, we will have to wait for official confirmation when Samsung announces its S25 lineup next year, possibly in January 2025
