Samsungs second change to Atom (S4)

[ShintaiDK]

It seems Samsung is getting a love affair with Atom chips. First the Galaxy Tab 3, now the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Is it that qualcom can't make enough s600s? Or that the atom is cheaper?

It's just listed because they are using the modem, but the SoC is not Intel.

Ah, that makes more sense. I was going to say that seems like a big win!

You never know, we may actually get 22nm Atom in a Galaxy S5 next year.

That could certainly explain it.

Update: We grabbed an Intel spokesperson who tells us the Galaxy S4 made the lineup due to the aforementioned 3G radios. We're taking their word for it, but we'll be hearing more from big mobile brands and Intel over the next year.

Its pretty cheap to put the S4 in then. Since the rest of the devices are x86 powered if I recall right.
