Samsung announces the Exynos 5250 2GHz chip, production starting Q2 2012

By on November 30, 2011 at 8:48am in Mobile News


Samsung has announced their latest processor – the Exynos 5250, featuring two Cortex-A15 chips at 2GHz. This is expected to power the next-generation of smartphones and tablets, and is a follow up to the Exynos 4210, the processor that’s inside the Galaxy S II. Samsung stated in a press release that the Exynos 5250 offers double the performance and can increase 3D graphics performance by up to four times from Cortex A9 cores (maybe a Galaxy Tab 3D coming), will support up to 2560×1600 resolution displays (amazing). When can we generally expect this? Samsung will start production during Q2 2012.

  1. Fingers crossed for on-die LTE or at least LTE compatible. No more OG Qualcom chips (I’m looking at you GS2LTE).

  2. This is Samsung’s implementation of ARM Cortex-A15 processor.

    Other companies will release their ARM Cortex-A15 processor SoC.

  4. Cortex A-15?!? Can you say AWESOME :D . Wonder if the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be the first device with this SoC or if it’s going to be a tablet. 2560X1600 displays on Super AMOLED? Holy….

    So Samsung will once again be the leader in 2012 it seems.

  12. 2560×1600 resolution sounds like overkill for a tablet device. My guess would be that the actual screen resolution would be 1920×1080 to keep the price down (standard high definition panel found on most monitors) and the higher resolution would be for an external monitor.

    • Apple is going with 2048 x 1536 for the iPad 3. I would love the next GTab to have 2560×1600!!

  14. Honestly, unless the Iphone 5 comes out with something like this, they are going to see their market share drop dramatically over the next 3-4 years.

    This will probably go in the GS3 which is most likely slated for a summer/fall release 2012

  15. The ARM Cortex-A15 implementation is the real step-up mobile devices have been waiting for. All major arm chip suppliers are planing a A15 implementation of some sort in 2012 (even LG will start producing it’s own chips).

    The increase in power will be of the 40% magnitude for comparable clocks. It will be like Intel Pentium-D VS the Core architecture.
