Samsung is coming in 2012 with a dualcore Cortex A15 chip at 2GHz

Samsung in 2012 with the Exynos 5250, a new soc based on the Cortex A15 design. The current chips from the Korean manufacturer to use the older Cortex A9 design. The A15 chips should be kloktik a lot faster.

That is reported by Sammy Hub. The Exynos 5250 gets a clock speed of 2GHz, which is higher than the 1.4 GHz of the Exynos 4210, Samsung’s current dual-core-soc. The chip is manufactured on a 32nm high-K metal gate process and must thanks to the new processor design is twice as fast as a Cortex A9-dual-core 1.5 GHz. Samsung would be the chip, especially in want to convert for high-end tablets.

Also the gpu will be considerably more powerful and will have support for stereoscopic 3d displays and a resolution up to 2560 x 1600 pixels. Samsung has not let you know to which gpu in particular, but it is possible, the Mali T604 chip ARM. Samsung currently uses its predecessor, the Mali 400. The T604 makes use of ARM’s new Midgard architecture and is structured around four shadercores.

Samsung is expanding its range of system-on-a-chips in the last few months considerably. Where last year’s only model, the company has already this year several high-end chips announced. In addition to the Exynos 4210 in the Galaxy S II is used, there will also be a 4212 with a higher clock speed and lower fuel consumption thanks to a smaller ontwikkelprocedé. There will also be a Exynos chip that ARM’s new energy efficient Cortex A7 core with different high-end processor cores combines. Recently came out that there is also an Exynos-soc with four Cortex A9 cores in the pipeline.
