Samsung announces new Exynos processor to power high-end smartphones
The home-made Exynos 4210 processor is the core of Samsung’s Galaxy S II line, and is currently the fastest processor in any smartphone on the market. Today, the company has announced the impending successor to that chip, the Exynos 4212, an ARM Cortex A9 SoC made from a 32nm manufacturing process. The dual-core chip will run at 1.5Ghz, as opposed to the current 1.2Ghz, and provide a 30% power reduction despite being clocked 300Mhz faster in both cores. This is due to the smaller chip size, better power management and thermal dissipation improvements.
The System-on-Chip (SoC) will also incorporate a faster GPU with claims of up to 50% improvement in overall graphics abilities from the previous generation. In addition, “the Exynos 4212 incorporates a rich portfolio of advanced codec accelerators that support digital still images, video recording and play-back at 1080p full-HD resolution, an image signal processor and an on-chip HDMI 1.4 interface.” In a word, it will be able to stream your 1080p video to your television over the common MHL (USB-to-HDMI) cable without breaking a sweat.
Samsung is already shopping around customers for the chip, but we’re holding out hope it will plant it in its own upcoming Nexus Prime or Galaxy Prime device, just in time for the holidays.

Why not? because there is something better and new? Samsung deserves the hype because they really make good phones now and they have Android on them! on the other hand Apple keeps repeating it self and tries to sue every other competitor! Apple doesn’t want anybody to take a share in the markhet.. they need to come up with new designs and ideas .. not repeating what they have..
Apple stopped buying Samsung batteries because they want to harm them since they saw they are successful, they want to sue them for the charger too, they want to sue them because they want to share the market? lol let it be fair!
Apple is compared to Rogers and Bell.. selfish and they disrespect their customers big time by letting them stay inlines for months to get the product! but ofcourse those are the iTurds

Ohhhhh poor lil Jim! Jim goes everyday to starbucks, he orders a latte then he grabs a chair and takes out his iPad and start showing off..in his mind he think that the chicks will impressed ! he doesn’t know that everybody there is showing off and all of them are broke on osap and they live the Apple lie..
Hey Jim , how long did you stay inline to get u r iPhone? lol also did you have to take an appointment to go to buy your iPad? did you ask for Apple permission to buy one?
How long did you wait until they called your name when it showed on the list to allow you to buy one? lol TARD
When I spend money on a product, I expect the company to appreciate me not to insult me

@iTurds
You are everything that is wrong with this site right now.
Im not saying Samsung doesnt deserve publicity. Im just saying your ignorant comments are getting very annoying.
Its a matter of opinion whether Samsung makes good phones. You say it like its the be all end all. Their phones arent for everyone. Android phones arent for everyone. I personally had a Desire HD and got rid of it in two weeks because the battery wouldnt even last a day, and i definitely did my homework and tried changing all of the settings.
You talk about apple like they are the nazis or something. They are a corporation and are in it to make money. Obviously there are some grounds to their lawsuits since they have been upheld in court. Why do you not spout the same ignorant stuff about microsoft charging Samsung for parents? its the same issue.
The point is they are different phones for different people and just because its not for you doesnt mean its not good. There is a reason why iPhones have sold so well, They have a good user experience, Its just not the user experience that you are looking for.

Please Samsung, dont make the nexus Prime 4.65 inches!
Ask your consumers. Hardly anyone wants a phone bigger than 4.3”. 4” is big enough!

Don’t hold your breath.
Just look that the current flagship WP7 device, the Samsung Focus. It released something like 6 months after the Galaxy S, and yet didn’t have its excellent Hummingbird SoC.
Was has been announced for the next WP7 devices (from HTC I think) is still single core snapdragon CPU with the old Adreno 205 GPU.

the majority of people who buy these phones don’t actually need them, so justifying your massive overspending you feel more emotionally attached to your decision and then take to the interwebs on your kung-fu keyboard. It’s all dick sizing.
I suppose it’s just that little bit sweeter when the side taking a beating is the abnormally smug side.. but obviously sega MEGADRIVE was better than SNES..

Apple should be “fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory” and don’t claim invention on simple general concepts that existed since time immemorial.
