Smartphone chips speedier, more powerful Samsung Electronics, the world's second-largest semiconductor maker, showed off a speedier and more powerful processor at this week's International Consumer Electronics Show, aiming for a bigger stake of the surging smartphone market. South Korea's Samsung is trying to build on its position as a supplier to Apple and its own handset division by winning orders from other phone makers with a full range of integrated components including processors, memory chips and screens, Woo said. Samsung, also the world's biggest supplier of ultrathin organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, displays, probably saw rapid growth at its display business in the final three months of 2012, largely driven by sales of its own mobile devices, said David Choi, an analyst at SK Securities Co. in Seoul.
