And if not Samsung buys GloFo and good bye to the arabs who currently owns the company.Today Qualcomm does.
Qualcomm is missing two things Samsung has:
The ability to create internal demand for CPUs.
One of the best chip factories in the world to build them.
And GloFo is going to be feeding them for a long time.

CPU SoCs are going to be much more about visual processing in the future. The vast majority of the work done by an SoC will be related to 3D visual processing. Future smartphones will interface with optical equipment and an array of sensors. So you have to ask.... which company is best positioned for this new paradigm?
I think Samsung is going to own the CPU market for the next 30 years the way Intel has owned it for the last 30 years.
