Samsung’s semiconductor division made a big leap forward this year with the development of its first custom CPU core inside its Exynos 8890 processor for the Galaxy S7, and it looks like the company intends to expand its CPU development efforts. According to industry sources, Samsung’s Device Solution division is working on its own CPU core for 32-bit microcontrollers, most likely targeted at the wearables and internet-of-things markets.
