In 2012, the business area will be expected to expand from the existing application processor market for smart phones and tablet computers to Windows 8 notebook computer (NB) CPUs. market. After mid-2012, Samsung may even become a strong threat to Intel status.

South Korean industry experts pointed out that after adding 12 new factories in 2012, Samsung will make another big step forward. Samsung expects to enter the power chip business in the third quarter of 2012. After 2012, Samsung is expected to enter the top 3 in the global system LSI field.
