The world's best maker of applications processors has done it again. After being able to spit out the best mobile processor in 2012 with the Samsung Exynos 4 Quad (found in the Galaxy S III and the Note II), the Korean-giant has announced at CES 2013, the next iteration of their Exynos line of processors, the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa. Yup, Octa which means? 8-cores.
nVidia just announced their nVidia Tegra 4 processor to the world also during CES 2013. Also, Qualcomm, another mobile processor competition of Samsung, announced their own Snapdragon S4 Pro (found in the Sony Xperia Z and ZL), which uses ARM's Cortex A15 architecture.These are two very amazing processors. If I ain't mistaken, nVidia focused on the GPU prowess (giving more cores on the GPU) while Qualcomm sticks with 4-cores with their Snapdragon S4 Pro.
After having said that, Samsung goes beyond what these companies did. They will probably put the Exynos 5 Octa to the yet-to-be-announced Samsung Galaxy S IV and of course the Galaxy Note III. What makes the 5 Octa different, aside from the fact that it packs 8-cores of processing power? It uses (the first) ARM's newest architecture technology for mobile processors which they call the Big-Little Technology.
What that means is that, there will be big cores and little cores. The thing is the cpu will give to the appropriate core the actual processing power needed by what application or what the user is using on his mobile device to either the little core or the big core. This allows the Exynos 5 Octa to increase processing power while decreasing the need of electrical energy.
So, yup! Samsung fans, another technology to be very proud of. Expect this device to give the Galaxy S Iv or the Note III amazing features never been seen in a mobile device.
