Samsung has unveiled its latest chipset, Samsung Exynos 5250, a 2GHz dual-core chipset intended for future mobile devices.
The
new Samsung Exynos 5250 features two ARM-based Cortex-A15 cores and is
supposed to deliver twice the performance of its previous 1.5GHz
dual-core SoC with Cortex-A9 cores.
The
Exynos 5250 comes after Samsung's successful stint with the 4210
processor, which is installed in its best-selling Galaxy S II devices.
The new Exynos is also supposed to boost the 3D graphics performance by
four times.
The
new Samsung processor is capable of driving higher-resolution screens
as it supports up to 2560x1600-pixel resolution displays. Samsung says
its Exynos 5250 is intended for the high-end tablets and is slated for
volume production in the second quarter of 2012. Samsung adds that it's
doubled the data transfer rates of older processors to 12.8 GB/s with
the new chip.
It's
notable that Nvidia's Tegra 3 SoCs feature four cores (actually five,
including the fifth low-power "companion" core) as compared to the
Exynos 5250's two.
However,
Tegra 3 uses Cortex-A9 cores that clock at 1.3GHz in multi-core mode,
and 1.4GHz in single-core mode. Samsung's new Exynos is likely to be the
first SoC for mobile devices that clocks at 2.0GHz.
