    Samsung just pay too much attention on trolling, even it is the biggest chip maker, they just don't get my respect!

      Hail to the new king baby! :) That is massive achievement, Considering future is in the mobile chipset, Intel still the best at desktop and I hope they will not slow down and keep making those amazing cpus

However, the technology has come a long way since and therefore no matter how difference since the technology has roots they have to pay the patents for it no matter how much more advanced it is now.

                Just to do a 2 cm crapp does not mean you actually are a CPU's manufacturer. Intel has more knowlege in the field then samesung will ever gather in 3000 years. Wake up people and stop kissing a**. Arm processors are as useless as a smartphone in the real work.

Heck, you can make something entirely from scratch and still won't avoid SOME patent to pay up for.

So it's false to claim that they are just a software company.

On the other contrary,... morenot entire accurate every company has to pay royalties to someone else. but samsung does make things on its own and reseraches and develops its own technology like AMOLED planels and even sensors.

                                apple on the other hand is just a software company.

                                      Ha ha this is funny. Intel has been making chips for desktops for decades now and now Samsung outdoing them by just making mobile chips. Number of mobile users a lot more than PC users but who cares, old folks like us can't be bothered with news like this, but still this funny.
