Samsung has released details of its upcoming Exynos 5 Dual (5250) SoC, billed as “the world’s first A-15 Dual Core mobile CPU.” Built using the HKMG (High K Metal Gate) process, the 32nm chipset promises to deliver “nearly two times faster than the existing Cortex A9-based dual core processor, with an amazing 30% lower power consumption” over previous generation Exynos (including the Exynos 4 Quad found on the international Samsung Galaxy S III).
Key features of the Samsung Exynos Dual include:
- 1.7GHz dual-core Cortex A15 processor
- Mali T604 GPU (supporting unified shaders, OpenGL ES 3.0, OpenCL 1.1 full profile, and stereoscopic 3D)
- Support for display up to WQXGA (2560×1600)
- 1080p 60FPS video performance
- Simultaneous WQXGA single LCD display and 1080p HDMI output
- Wi-Fi Display support allowing you to stream video wirelessly to another device
- Integrated USB 3.0 and SATA III controllers
- 12.8 GB/s memory bandwidth with 2-port 800MHz LPDDR3 RAM support
No devices sporting the Samsugn Exynos 5 Dual have been announced but expect that to change in the next few months. Between it and other next-generation SoCs such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, smartphones and tablets look set to take another leap forward in performance.
