Search provider Daum quotes an unnamed “high-ranking” executive within the Korean company, who lets slip that Samsung plans to “release a 2Ghz dual core CPU-equipped smartphone by next year” that “will have the data processing capacities of a regular PC.”
Although it has been argued that building a 4GHz single-core processor would be cheaper to manufacturer, Samsung has opted to build a dual-core processor which it believes is better optimised for smartphone devices.
While this will no doubt equip Samsung-branded smartphones with faster multitasking and whizzy apps, the company also plans to sell the CPUs, which will be launched under Samsung’s Exynos brand, separately to other phone makers. Still, The 2GHz dual-core chip is still in development by Samsung, with an exact release date still to be announced.
In the mean time, we’ll just have to “make do” with the Samsung Galaxy S II, which packs a duo of 1.2GHz chips under the hood. Set to land on May 1st, the super-skinny flagship also features a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS, an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p HD video capture, a front-facing webcam, HSDPA and WiFi speeds, integrated NFC smarts, and either 16GB or 32GB of storage.
