Exynos 5250 SoC goes into mass production in Q2, tablets get it first

27 January, 2012
The dual-core chipset from Samsung is based on Cortex-A15. It will be used in smartphones too.

There is truth there. Think about it. If this year they really think of putting quad-cores in smartphones then in 2013 they will have 8 cores??? No. Maybe this year pass the 2ghz threshold and in 2013 the 3ghz.

        When it comes to multicore CPUs, I prefer higher clock speed over number of cores. Current software are still not able to take advantage of multicore CPUs that has cores more than two.

              AnonD-1431, 27 Jan 2012Don't want these power hungry processors. I need the one wh... moreThen you should opt for a sub 4 inch Screen.

              Hope i see this dual core in the next galaxy. Quadcores are not meant to be on smartphones. They are to powerhungry. And i doubt, that a quadcore A9 is that much faster than a dualcore A15.

                Was hoping for quad core. If Samsung is relegates themselves to only dual core, then things may not go too well for them this year and ever after. This year is very crucial and Samsung has to get it right and quickly too.

                  soo sgs 3 will come out in q4 or late q3 then but if they use this cpu

                  chip comes out in q2
                  late q2 tablet will use it
                  q3 making the cpu use less TDP and optimizing it
                  late q3 putting phone in mass production and
                  q4 phone avilable

                  ill wait for the samsung galaxy s 4 and wont be buying the next iphone 5 =)

                  happy with my 4s its fast enough and no lag in any applications.

                    AnonD-12210, 27 Jan 2012anything above 300ppi is nt visible to human eye . So not i... moreWrong, 350ppi is not visible to human eyes. Anything under 350ppi can be visible to some humans especially if it's pentile display instead of rgb.

                            I really wanted to see this next SoC Galaxy S III for sure I would buy it, I prefer the Dual Cortex A15, A9 than the Quad. I really hope that Samsung considers the Galaxy S III, I'd be very happy with it! long live the Galaxy S!

                                I wonder what will be the power efficiency (if exists) of this Dual-2GHz monster esp comparing Tegra3...
