Samsung is working on a 8-core chip for tablets and smartphones
The company Samsung plans in early 2013 to provide an 8-core mobile processor, designed for use in tablets and smartphones. It is expected that the Corporation will demonstrate the new product at the conference ISSCC (San Francisco, 17 - 21 February).
Concept of chip technology will be ARM big.LITTLE. This configuration involves placing a single crystal of a weak processor, low power consumption, and much more powerful. The first will be assigned simple tasks: background, book, audio output, and the second - CPU-intensive tasks such as surfing the internet in the networks LTE, games, etc.
NVIDIA has used this configuration in the ARM-processor Tegra 3 (to save energy use an auxiliary low-voltage core, perform a simple task).
According to EETimes, Samsung will share the new 28-nanometer "system on a chip" into two clusters on the four cores: one with low-power 1.2-GHz ARM Cortex A7, the second - with core Cortex A15 (1,8 GHz and 2 MB L2- cache).
AndroidHeadlines believes that originally the manufacturer will release a light version of the processor (for a smartphone Galaxy S IV), which may also be composed of two clusters, but the 2-core (2 2 A7 + A15). Full version of the same (4 +4), according to the blog will come somewhere in the middle of 2013 and will be applied in the new Galaxy Tab tablets and Galaxy Note.
