Samsung Announces Dual Core CPU


Nvida may have been first to release a dual core CPU for mobile devices with its Tegra 2 chips, but they wonā€™t be the last. Samsung, one of the biggest producers of tablet CPUā€™s (look at Apple and the slew of Chinese tablet not to mention Samsungā€™s own Galaxy Tab for Samsung chips) have just announced it will start producing its Exynos dual-core processors at the end of the month.


This is going to mean a number of things for the tablet market:

Gizchina News of the week


  • Tablet manufacturers have another dual core CPU to choose from, so we are likely to see more.
  • The very popular 1Ghz Samsung CPU as found in the Galaxy Tab will drop in price (itā€™s already pretty low) and we will get to see more Chinese tablets sporting high-end hardware.
  • As the new Exynos (formally known as Orion) chip will be rolling out of factories by the end of the month Samsung more than likely have a device already for it to sit inside.
  • As a last thought, could this be a similar chip to what the iPad 2 is likely to be sporting when it arrives?
