Samsung To Manufacture Apple-Designed Quad-Core A6 Chip Despite Strained Relationship With Apple

According to a report recently released Samsung is preparing for the next chip-manufacturing Apple-pump - Apple A6 - plant in Austin, TX.

The news comes from 9to5Mac - a blog devoted to all things Apple - in a post, in which a report by the Korea Times that "industry sources" that discuss Apple's chip-A6 manufactured by Samsung claim cited.

Korea Times report goes "against what is claimed by Taiwan Economic News, and has suggested that commercial time that Apple will produce for the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) instead of Samsung in the next generation of chips from Apple A6 .

From Korea Times:

Industry sources say that Apple will continue to use Samsung’s chips and technology for its next smartphone, which may or may not be named the iPhone 5.
“Apple has been in talks with Samsung over shipment of its A6 quad-core mobile processor (AP) chips to be used in the next iPhone. It appears that Apple clearly has concluded that Samsung remains a critical business partner,’’ an executive from an Apple parts supplier based in Korea said on condition of anonymity.

No one outside of Apple and chip maker really knows what the specifications of Apple A6 but if you consider how chip makers like Nvidia is the introduction of quad-core chips in the Android smartphone early next year, we expect that the A6 is also a quad-core chip to offer significant performance gains compared to the current dual-core chip that powers the A5 2 iPad and iPhone 4S.

In an article that we published today, we talked a little bit, "have as Samsung and Apple tried in different countries to advertised more popular than all other products of patent infringement. Are two companies now in the so-called" patent war is "probably the worse before it gets better. But despite all the hostilities in court, Samsung and Apple depend on each other in one way or another, we expect that the reasons to stop in a cross-licensing agreement.

Chief Operating Officer and President of Samsung's Lee Jae-yong, is convinced that Apple is one of the most important clients of his company. These causes are then evil "strong partnership" that the two companies are:

Apple is one of Samsung’s most important clients, and we have developed a solid partnership. But that’s a separate matter from the legal disputes between the two companies in areas where they compete.
