Samsung might want to salvage its chipset operation by rebranding its Exynos SoC and renaming it Dream Chip next year.

Edit: Samsung says this isn't true. https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-exynos-no-rebranding-3389743/. Thanks @[email protected] !

They kinda miss the point why people don't like Exynos.

Not only it's generally inferior, but you also pay the same for the worse product which also has the same name. And it depends on where you live, lol.

I wouldn't mind existence of Exynos in, let's say, S21 Ultra, if it was either cheaper, or there was a legit choice which version to purchase, or even better, both. I definitely dislike paying full price for worse product with no realistic choice, and the name doesn't matter at all.

Agreed. Exynos is also a pretty cool name. They just need it to be more competitive in terms of performance or overall device cost.
