Samsung Next Mobile Super Chip Exynos 5 Dual Detailed

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.

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?

    cool samsung is at rocking the performance charts agen. but im still more happy about battery life with performance, lets hope this one will handle power draw better or the same like the S3. the usb 3 will be extremely use full.

    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.

    Tegra 4 is supposed to be a Quad+1 A15 so I doubt a dual A15 could top that.

    This good news, considering the practiacally nothing is written to take advantage of quad cores in hte mobile world and dual cores are just now starting to gather steam (in terms of software coding), a strong dual core cpu is the best approach.
    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 :P
