Vyralize: At today’s CES convention, Samsung has announced a new 8-core processor, called the Exynos 5 Octa, with a little bit of a twist.
Whether you're a gamer, or a cinema lover, you don't want to miss this Samsung 77" 4K S90C Smart TV. Now over $1000 off.
Experience gameplay at its best with this Samsung G95NA monitor deal that sees a price drop of almost $1000.
Amazon and Best Buy are currently offering the lowest-ever price on the Samsung 990 2TB in their respective Black Friday deals.
Woah! That's pretty awesome. Glad to see that they didn't build a traditional 8-core system, or else battery life would have just been sucked dry in mere hours.
hopefully its in the S-IV
it would make it a dayone pickup if the market isnt riddled with good choices.
i don't get it.
don't get me wrong, its progression and im all for it, but is it really necessary?
i mean mobile phones haven't even been able to use the full capacity of quad-core phones and now they on to 8-core. its a different thing if quad-core phones were "maxed out" and much more processing power was needed but it really isn't the case.
From the article:
The new chip is comprised of two separate clusters of quad cores, one being an ARM Cortex-A15 and the other a Cortex-A7. Rather than simply having 8 cores in total, the 2 clusters are managed via ARM’s big.LITTLE technology which allows for the processor to switch between the more or less powerful clusters depending on the type of usage.
This is good news for those who really want the most out of their battery life since it can revert to the less powerful of the 2 clusters in idle or low-performance needs.
Samsung promises a 70% savings in power consumption versus the Exynos 5 Dual, but still boasts top class performance because of the 4 Cortex-A15 cores. They also mentioned that it can deliver twice the 3D performance as compared to the Exynos 4 Quad. We’re guessing the S IV will be the first to carry this chip.
