- Arm’s designs may be partially to blame for Samsung and Qualcomm’s overheating problems.
- There may be a solution, but it won’t be easy to achieve.
Samsung has been in the news for throttling its phones, but the underlying issue is far more widespread and likely to get worse.
Samsung admitted to throttling apps, although it said the reason was to keep phones from overheating. There may be more to Samsung’s claim than some originally thought, and it may not be entirely the company’s fault. According to reports, the blame may rest with the underlying Arm design that Samsung and Qualcomm’s flagship processors are based on.
