Having spawned Exynos 4 Quad dan Exynos 5 Dual this year, Samsung is preparing a so-called 8-core processors.
Eight-core processor for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, the plan will be announced at the International Conference on Solid-State Circuits February 19 next year.
As quoted from Phone Arena, Samsung processor is reportedly built on the concept of "big.LITTLE.computing" from which a number of major core ARM processor core is equipped with some of the "companion".
In this case, the Samsung processor will have four core ARM Cortex-A15 speed 1.8 GHz to handle heavy tasks, with four ARM Cortex-A7 cores running at 1.2 GHz frequency that will handle the processing of light.
The concept is similar to the "companion core" that is applied in the Nvidia Tegra 3 (among others used in tablet Goolge Nexus One and HTC 7 X) where four core processor aided by a fifth core to handle minor tasks to save battery.
It is not yet known when the devices with chips made with 28 nanometer fabrication will be realized. However, due to potentially have a large physical size, it is likely that it will first be applied to the tablet.
