Next week we’ll find out everything there is to know about Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy smartphone that will probably put an end to all rumors.
Although we’ve got lots of information on the alleged Galaxy S III specs sheet, nothing has been confirmed yet. However, it appears that Samsung made another step towards revealing the Galaxy S III’s insides.
The South Korean company has just announced that its new Exynos quad-core processor will power the
next-generation Samsung Galaxy smartphone that will be officially announced in May.
Dubbed Exynos 4 Quad, Samsung's new application processor is based on 32nm HKMG (High-k Metal Gate) process and exceeds 1.4GHz per core.
According to Samsung, the CPU is already on production and is also sampling to other major smartphone markets, which means we will probably see this one in other devices as well.
Given the fact that the Exynos 4 Quad is based on a 32nm HKMG low-power process and power-saving design, it has two times the processing power over its 45nm process-based Exynos 4 Dual predecessor, while consuming 20% less power at the same time.
Samsung claims that it has adopted “hot-plug functionality to support on-off switching for each core as well as the per-core dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS),” in order to offer reduced power consumption.
In addition, the Exynos 4 Quad seems to have been specifically designed to easily handle heavy-load apps, including 3D games, video editing, and calculation-intensive simulation.
“The application processor is a crucial element in providing our customers with a PC-like experience on mobile devices. Samsung's next Galaxy device, which will be officially announced soon, offers uncompromised performance and ground breaking multi-tasking features, thanks to Exynos 4 Quad's powerful performance and efficient energy management technology,” said Hankil Yoon, senior vice president of Product Strategy Team, Samsung's Mobile Communications Business.
