In a slide leaked by SemiAcurate, details of Samsung's new dual-core 32nm Exynos 5 SoC have been revealed.
According to the image, the Eynos 5 is to include two ARM Cortex-A15 processor cores running at 2GHz. Graphically, the device is to be bundled with a quad-core ARM Mali T-604 MP4 graphics processing unit, capable of 2.1GPixels/s with 12.8GB/s of memory bandwidth.
These figures do line-up with previous exceptions of the Eynos 5 range, with pixel-pushing-performance a juicy new detail, though more interesting figures such as triangles and floating point operations per second continue elude us.
What is a little upsetting, however, is that it has recently been reported by Korean Times that a Samsung exec has stated that, despite the immanent availability of the Exynos 5, the Samsung GALAXY S III smartphone will, in fact, feature a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9-based Exynos 4412, which, whilst claiming to have improved battery performance over other Exynos chips in the series, will no doubt gobble significantly more power than Cortex-A15 dual-core offerings. We only hope that the 4412 will feature a new ARM Mali GPU to support our great expectations of the new smartphone.
