This was the best April Fools' joke

While some companies decided to be killjoys this year, the 1st of April has delivered a rich harvest of carefully crafted jokes, with the main feature being how well they skirt the line between believability and incredulity.

Introducing Extender, the CPU adaptor takes Exynos power from mobile to PC

April 1, 2019

We at Samsung Electronics are honored to introduce the Extender, the new concept of desktop and laptop adapter for Samsung’s Exynos processor. The Extender converts Exynos processor’s performance and diverse capabilities into a powerful solution that PC and laptop can utilize. Installation is ultra-easy. Just plug and play. Simply slide the Exynos processor into the adapter and place it in the CPU socket of PC or laptop’s motherboard. That’s it. The Extender automatically adjusts the Exynos processor to be compatible with PC and laptop system.

But, you might ask, mobile processor for PC? Why not?! Exynos is the industry’s leading mobile processor brand thanks to its innovative technologies for powerful computing performance. The latest Exynos 9 Series 9820 processor features an advanced Samsung’s 4th generation custom CPU that is blazingly fast and is combined with six additional performance and power efficient cores to deliver a big boost in not only single-core but also multi-core performance making it great for running multiple application.

In addition, the Exynos 9820 processor is not only super-fast but also very intelligent thanks to its integrated NPU, an artificial intelligence processor. This will allow PC and laptops to offer users with new and elevated experiences that AI-based software or games are bringing to the table. The embedded graphic processing unit or GPU itself is powerful enough to run mesmerizing 3-D games, but it also can boost the performance of already installed graphic card in PC and laptop.
