New mobile chips Samsung Exynos: still no "64-bit"
They have names like little Exynos 5422 and 5260 and are the renewal of mobile SoC Samsung in early 2014 year.
Google took advantage of the international trade fair for mobility (MWC 2014) which was held in Barcelona to unveil two new SoC ( System on Chip ) that will equip some of its future smartphones and tablets.
South Korean manufacturer is (for now) ignore the 64-bit while Qualcomm and Intel (with two x86-based SoC) have already initiated hostilities and unveiled their mobile chips "64-bit".
However, the two new chips Samsung announced very efficient and complete.
The Exynos 5422 is the new SoC Exynos 5 Octa manufacturer. Logically, then it embeds 8 cores (4 Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 4), something possible thanks to the ARM big.LITTLE technology. The latter has been improved and renamed HMS big.LITTLE ( Heterogeneous Multi Processing ) for the occasion. 8 hearts can now run simultaneously and Samsung may speak of "true octal-core processor."
The chip support Samsung QHD definitions and decoding of video streams 4K/UHD. It is also less energy through various embedded technologies on display ("Adaptive Hibernation" and "Mobile Image Compression").
The Exynos 5422 will equip high-end equipment manufacturer.
The Exynos 5260 is the second SoC unveiled by Samsung. This is a 6-core chip. Performance is ensured by two Cortex-A15 cores while tasks more "light" are the prerogative of 4 cores Cortex-A7. It does not support 4K stream but can decode 1080p video at 60 fps.
It now expects Samsung announces future SoC architecture Cortex-A50 (A53 and A57) who signed the transition to 64-bit ARM architecture (and the instruction set ARMv8).
Present on all fronts, Samsung also unveiled a new wireless chipset, an NFC chip and two photos ISOCELL sensors (including a 16 megapixel).
