Samsung plans to use ARM's graphic processing unit designs in its mobile devices for years to come. The company today signed a long-term agreement to license ARM's GPU designs, including the Mali-T820, T830, T860, T880, and all future Mali GPUs. Samsung already uses ARM's GPUs in its system-on-a-chip designs and will now continue to do so. ARM said Samsung will be able to create high-performance products that cover a range of price points for its portfolio of mobile devices. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Samsung designs and manufactures its own application processors, but also uses processors from other companies such as Qualcomm. Application processors are paired with GPUs, which handle tasks related to graphics. ARM doesn't actually make the GPUs. Instead, it licenses the GPU designs to companies that fabricate the chips.
