2GHz Exynos 5250 System-on-Chip, a first to feature ARM's new dual-core

Cortex-A15 processor said to be about twice as fast as the 1.5GHz Cortex-A9.

The Exynos 5250 is based on 32nm manufacturing processes and brings vastly improved 3D graphics performance over existing Cortex-A9 systems — as much as 4x better in some cases — with support for stereoscopic 3D displays. It also supports WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600 pixel) resolutions making it ideal for next generation tablets. The new Exynos 5250 SoC is sampling now and will ship in quantity in the second quarter of 2012.

The Exynos 5 Dual SoC is based on the 32-bit RISC processor for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and netbooks. Designed using 32-nm low-power process, the Exynos 5 Dual provides the best performance and broadest feature set, such as a Cortex-A15 dual core CPU, the widest memory bandwidth available in-class, WQXGA display (2560x1600), 1080p 60 fps video encoding and decoding hardware, 3D graphics hardware, an image signal processor, and high-speed interfaces, such as eMMC 4.5, USB 3.0 and SATA3.
