Samsung Unleashes Cortex-A15 2GHz Exynos 5250 Chip For Tablets

Today Samsung has announced its Exynos 5250 chip, which is a a new System-on-chip (SoC) for mobile devices (just like tablets). The chip is based on two Cortex-A15 chips clocked at 2GHz. And the company said Exynos 5250 is the industry’s first dual-core processor based on the ARM Cortex-A15 core.

Exynos 5250 chip is supposed to have twice the performance when compared to a 1.5GHz dual-core SoC based on Cortex-A9. In addition, it features graphics performance improved by four times when compared to Cortex-A9 Processors, as well as supports stereoscopic 3D displays with display resolution of up to 2560*1600.

In terms of power consumption, though the running frequency of Exynos 5250 is 2GHz, it’s based on 32nm manufacturing process, so it have a good control in power. Currently Samsung has provided tested samples to its cooperative partner, and the chip is scheduled for mass-production in the Q2 2012.
