Samsung Electronics has announced the latest Eight-Core Exynos 5 Octa Processor that features a six-core ARM Mali-T628 GPU processor giving two times greater 3D graphics than its predecessor.
Samsung Electronics, world leader in advanced semiconductors and mobile devices, has added a new member to its Exynos family Tuesday, with greater graphic performance, which is double the power of its predecessor, Exynos 5 Octa.
Samsung said its latest Exynos 5 Octa sports four Cortex A15 cores clocked at 1.8GHz in addition to four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores, which improves CPU processing by up to 20 percent. The South Korean company has used the six-core ARM Mali GPU that is essential for OpenGL® ES 3.0 and Full Profile Open CL 1.1, which not only boosts the application performance but also increases the battery efficiency.
"ARM welcomes the latest addition to the successful Exynos Octa 5 series, which uses ARM's Mali GPU solution to dramatically improve graphics performance," Pete Hutton, executive vice president & general manager, Media Processing Division, ARM, said in a press statement. "ARM big.LITTLE and ARM Artisan Physical IP technologies continue to be at the heart of the Octa series and now complement the new functionality brought by ARM GPU Compute. This combination enables unprecedented capabilities in areas such as facial detection and gesture control, and brings desktop-quality editing of images and video to mobile devices."
The development of the new chipset takes the graphic experiences to a complete new level, which fulfills the demands of the users and OEMs. The new Exynos 5 Octa processor boosts the display with a screen resolution up to 2500x1600, without affecting the system power.
Samsung is currently in its testing phase but will begin mass-production in August.
