Samsung gave an early peek at its first Quad-core mobile application processor at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference here. The unannounced chip is Samsung first to use its 32 nm high-k metal gate process and sports advances in performance and battery life over its existing 45 nm Exynos chips. This chip will also be the One that will power the Upcoming Galaxy Flagship (Galaxy S III), thats is supposed to be coming in Q2, 2012 with ICS on baord.
The new chip comes in versions using two or four ARM Cortex A9 cores running at rates from 200 MHz to 1.5 GHz along with a 64-bit ARM Neon media processing block. The cores share a 1 Mbyte L2 cache with a snoop control unit. The chip does not include an integrated baseband.
The chip supports two LPDDR2 or DDR3 interfaces running up to 400 MHz for a total memory bandwidth of up to 6.4 Gbytes/s.
Samsung said the new chip delivers up to 26.3 percent improvements in video frame rates. In a demo, Samsung showed the chip using 48 percent less power on 3-D calculations and 45 percent less power in CPU jobs than the 45 nm chip.
