Samsung Electronics on Wednesday released at CES for the next generation of smart phones and 7 inch tablet pcs android 4.0 Exynos processor. This 8-core processors use a new architecture to be able to provide more performance does not reduce battery life. This Exynos 5 Octa processor chip is actually a chip package that contains two quad-core chips. Four high-performance cores for heavy tasks such as gaming and video playback. Four less powerful kernel for text and e-mail and other energy-saving ordinary tasks. Yu, (Stephen Woo), Southern Star, Samsung Electronics Components business unit president, said in a speech at CES in Las Vegas on Wednesday, the target application of this chip is a high-end smart phones and tablet PCs.
However, Yu Southern Star did not disclose this chip when to start selling. This chip will compete with Nvidia Tegra 4 chips and 800 series Qualcomm processor chip. The Qualcomm chip released earlier this week, for equipment in the second half of this year. However, Samsung has produced a reference design show Exynos 5 Octa processor chip can do. Yu Southern Star demonstrates a predetermined hotel example, a configuration Exynos 5 Octa processor 7 inch tablet pc android 4.0 to be able to download this hotel website, download a pre-application and get the GPS location of the device. All of these operations are done simultaneously.
Yu Southern Star also demonstrates a 3D video game to showcase the functionality of 7 inch tablet pc android 4.0 chip. However, this game seems to be that he is not welcome. Samsung engineers managed to make this game run; this game is delayed 30 seconds before the start. The game eventually started running and smooth 3D images.
Yu said Southern Star, this new chip than Samsung’s chip energy saving of 70%. This chip uses a chip design company ARM “big.Little” architecture to achieve the purpose of energy saving. This architecture allows for high-performance and low-performance kernel with the work.
Exynos 5 Octa processor chip the four A15 kernel used to perform tasks such as high-definition video, four Cortex A7 kernel is used to perform the task of sending text and call.
