About time they focused on battery life.

I currently own the Samsung Note 2 and going to upgrade to Note 4 soon as it's released. So not sure if this chip will make it for Note 4 since it's going to be announced next month?

Next year should be an interesting year for Intel Atom 14nm versus ARM

Cue a certain someone, somewhere, saying the Exynos is doomed to become a market failure due to not being up to K1 specs...

Personally, I am glad to see more efficiency-minded phone/tablet SoCs.

Would like to see 6 big cores + 2 little cores instead

With the amount of trouble they had making big.LITTLE work right, they would be better off going 8 big - between the die shrink, improved transistor efficiency, better clock gating, lower voltage and other improvements, they can probably afford it without taking much of a hit battery-wise.

The Note 4 will probably mostly use the Snapdragon 805. And according to those who knows, the Exynos 5433 in selected regions, which despite the very similar name to this SoC is a very different processor all in all.

That is what I heard (excluding the 14 nm detail) in 2010 and again in 2011 and again in 2012 and again in 2013 and, I bet, I will hear again in 2015.
