Samsung announces new Exynos 5422 Octa and the Exynos 5460 Hexa

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 to unveil 2 new Samsung Exynos processors at CES 2014

Samsung has been constantly teasing over at their Social Media outlets about their Samsung Exynos processors with a date (Jan. 7) and a place (Las Vegas). That, apparently, is during CES 2014. According to UV, the Korean Giant will be announcing or unveiling their, I should say, 2014 line of Exynos processors. 2013 was a year that was all about Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 and 800 quad-core CPUs. Even Samsung's Note III has a variant that runs on the Snapdragon 800.

Samsung develops world's first 8GB LPDDR4 RAM for mobile devices

Samsung developed the world's first 8GB LPDDR4 RAM for mobile devices which is manufactured with their 20nm class process. I really do not know what that means but then again it sounds cool. There is no word when Samsung plans to start mass producing this jawdroppingly huge DRAMs but since they announced it this early expect that the South Korean giant to produce them around Q3 or Q4 of 2014.

Samsung starts producing their 3GB LPDDR3 RAMs for mobile devices

Remember this news? If not, then good. This post would com as a disappointment if you knew Samsung announced that they will be producing 4G LPDDR3 RAMs for mobile devices. Apparently, with this post, Samsung actually, instead of a 4G, has started mass producing 3GB LPDDR3 RAMs. Still this is a first in the industry and for those who are anxious in waiting for the Galaxy Note III's announcement might be in for a real treat if Samsung decides to stuff these into the phablet. But anyway, the news for today is about these RAMs. Mass producing any component for mobile devices will always be a landmark for things to come in the future. So yup! I know you are excited, so am I. All rumors point to a September announcement of the phablet and as always I will be blogging about it if it does happen.

The Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420 officially unveiled

It is pretty disappointing that the world's first 8-core mobile processor wasn't really a good one when it was discovered to have faulty design making the whole thing useless. Whilst Samsung Electronics denied that the Exynos 5 Octa 5410 had design issues and if they did do something to "repair" that fault would mean that their factories should also be redesigned for mass producing it (these are the news I was able to read on back when the issue was still hot on the iron). Samsung kept on denying that but it was evident that the system on chip is faulty because I do not think there is a Samsung Galaxy S 4 IV today that is being sold (officially) in a market that is being powered by the Exynos 5 Octa 5410. If there are, then I am pretty sure those are devices that got out of their hands. But anyway, the good thing is, Samsung has done something on that and made the processor even more powerful. Ladies and gentlemen, the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420.

Samsung starts producing 4GB LPDDR3 RAMs for mobile devices!

Samsung announced on their global blog, Samsung Tomorrow, that one of Samsung Group's arms, Samsung Semiconductors Corporation has started producing the industry's first 4GB LPDDR3 DRAM for mobile  devices. Of course, this is great news because Samsung is yet to announce the Galaxy Note 3. Rumor has it that Samsung will totally give the next iteration of the world's first phablet a new look. That means that the Galaxy Note 3 might run away from the design aesthetics of the 2012 and 2013 even that of the Galaxy S 4. With Samsung's announcement and unveiling of the Exynos 5 Octa (world's first 8-core app processor) and now this, the first 4GB DRAM these things should, and I say should, be in the Galaxy Note 3.
