| Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5422 |
Samsung has announced two new additions to their Exynos line of processors at the MWC 2014 in Barcelona, Spain. These are the Exynos 5 Octa 5422, a revised with higher clockspeed from the 5420, and the Exyno 5 Hexa 5460 processor. I believe you remember the
Galaxy Note III Neo which sports the Exynos 5 Hexa processor. It probably is the first device to actually have the 5460 in it. The Exynos 5 Octa 5422 is still to be seen in a mobile device but we should probably expect a
Galaxy S V to have this processor, I think, because rumors are already circulating the internet about an Exynos variant of the SGS V. The Octa 5422 is scheduled to be mass produced within the first quarter of this year while the Octa 5460 is already in production (apparently, because of the Note III Neo).
"Samsung’s new Exynos 5422, an advanced Exynos 5 Octa product for premium mobile devices, is designed to support the ever-increasing needs of high-resolution displays and complicated computation without sacrificing battery life. This new processor is equipped with eight cores—four big cores (ARM® Cortex®- A15™ up to 2.1 GHz) for heavy loads and four small cores (ARM® Cortex®- A7™ up to 1.5 GHz) for lighter jobs—that deliver up to 34 percent higher performance than in previous Exynos Octa models. Due to Samsung’s further optimized big.LITTLE™ HMP (Heterogeneous Multi Processing) technology, any combination of up to eight cores is engineered to provide optimum performance for any given task."

"Another addition to the Exynos portfolio, Exynos 5 Hexa (Exynos 5260) is designed to bring optimal performance and power efficiency required in the increasing mid- to high-end mobile market. The new Exynos 5 Hexa processor is powered by six CPU cores; two 1.7GHz ARM® Cortex®-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz ARM® Cortex®-A7 cores. Along with Exynos 5 Octa products, it adopts big.LITTLE HMP to provide the right mixture of cores for various tasks, resulting in up to 42 percent improved performance when compared with the previous Exynos 5 Dual products.
Equipped with an embedded Display Port (eDP) interface and memory bandwidth supporting up to 12.8GB/s, the Exynos 5260 also supports WQXGA (2560 x 1600) display resolution. For excellent video experience, it is integrated with a video codec that enables Full HD (1080p) playback at up to 60 frames-per-second (fps) with encoding and decoding of various standards, such as H.264, MPEG4 and VP8. Exynos 5260 is currently in mass production."
