Looks to me like the Samsung chipset is klunky compared to the competitor:

"...Samsung's HD Radio baseband processor, based on Tensilica's
programmable core, integrates the baseband, memory, SDRAM and flash in a
system-in-package measuring 9 x 9 mm. Including the companion RF chip,
the chip set's total power consumption is 150 mW...

....Sunder Velamuri, vice president of marketing at SiPort, said power
dissipation of the mixed-signal device is expected to be "around 100 mW
in typical configurations." He added that the chip, essentially "a
software radio," can tune and demodulate not only analog AM/FM and HD
Radio but also DAB and DMB-T, making it ready for the global market.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is fabricating the device..."
