Samsung Next Mobile Super Chip Exynos 5 Dual Detailed
The future of Samsung phones.
We already know all about the quad core Exynos powering the international version of the Galaxy S III, and now we've learned about the company's next chip, the Exynos 5 Dual.
Samsung today announced the dual core Exynos 5 dual, which uses two ARM Cortex A15 cores running at up to 1.7GHz with a shared 1MB L2 cache and an ARM Mali-T604 GPU. The chip is designed with the 32nm lowpower process and offers support for up to 2560×1600 WQXGA display, 1080p 60fps video performance, OpenGL ES 3.0, OpenCL 1.1 full profile, WiFi Display, VP8 decoding, 12.8 GB/s memory bandwidth with 2 port 800 Mhz LPDDR3 RAM support, and (a first for a mobile device) support for the zippy USB 3.0 interface.
Android Authority reports that the dual-core 1.7 Ghz Exynos 5 Dual will compete with Qualcomm's dual core 1.7 Ghz S4. It should outperform both the S4 and the other top dog in the mobile chip market, Nvidia's Tegra 3, when it launches.

Should this say Tegra 3+ or 4?
Either, I'd imagine.
Im pretty sure the author meant the Tegra 3. The "when it launches" was in context for the new exynos chip mentioned in the article.
So "When it launches(new exynos),It should outperform both the S4 and the other top dog in the mobile chip market, Nvidia's Tegra 3"
Good to see the mobile SOC market competing so hard.
2560x1600 is for tablet, at least for now.
We already saw that the S4 with not quite A15 performance was already better than the quad core Tergra in real word performance. And with TI already announced thier own A15 based SoC, I am looking forward to finally dumping my Galaxy S1 next year
Actually, competition in a capitalistic environment produces varying products with marginal differences all of which are within each other more or less (based on ultimately the same technology). Only the price might benefit the end consumers - however, that doesn't negate the premise that what you get is hardly what I would call 'innovative'.
Revised? Yes.
Innovative? No.
Innovative would be creating electronics completely using graphene only... or a combination of diamonds and graphene to drive performance and efficiency (among other things) to unprecedented levels (with a power draw being roughly 1/10th of what is currently consumed).
Cooperation is a lot better for innovation and technological evolution and history demonstrated that time and time again.
This competitive practice is wasteful because we get tons of practically same products all of which offer varying degrees of performance with nothing truly 'new' and 'groundbreaking' in the first place.
This is technological obscurity and stagnation for the purpose of gaining profits... that's what competition in this environment drives in the first place.
If it was truly innovative and evolving, then all of this would be decades behind us already.
