Samsung collaborated with ARM for Next-Gen Cortex -X cores
Samsung Newsroom
Samsung Foundry has announced its collaboration with ARM for optimized fabrication of next-generation Cortex-X series CPU cores (likely the Cortex-X5 and above), thus improving the performance and power efficiency of ARM's latest Cortex-CPU cores
"Samsung Foundry will deliver the next generation Arm Cortex-X CPU optimized on Samsung Foundryβs latest Gate-All-Around (GAA) process technology on its 3nm as well as 2nm processes
This initiative is built on years of partnership with millions of devices shipped with Arm CPU intellectual property (IP) on various process nodes offered by Samsung Foundry."
The companies have bold plans to reinvent 2-nanometer (nm) GAA for next-generation data center and infrastructure custom silicon, as well as a groundbreaking AI chiplet solution.
The Exynos 2500 chip (internally dream chip) will pack the cortex-X5 core

Android's Virtualization Framework seems to be getting GPU support.
"Enable GPU feature. crosvm in virt APEX now supports GPU feature. This is to support VMs with display."
AVF was introduced in Android 13 and supported on select Pixels but is now supported by a variety of non-Pixel phones running Android 14. It's still only accessible to system apps, though with root, you can theoretically run your own VM.
Developer Danny Lin famously managed to get Windows 11 on ARM booting in a VM on his Pixel 6 two years ago (wow time sure flies), but at the time, there was no graphics acceleration.

Google is preparing to fully remove support for non-A/B updates from Android, leaving A/B updates as the only officially supported OTA update mechanism moving forward.
However, this won't stop certain device makers from continuing to use non-A/B as they can either use their own implementation or just revert Google's changes. Google would need to actually mandate the use of A/B through the CDD or GMS licensing, which they've tried to do but ended up reneging.
If you want to learn more about how Android's update schemes work, check out this article I wrote (though note that Google ended up not going forward with this requirement).
