Samsung’s Next-Gen Mobile Chipset Nearly As Powerful As Laptop

If you have an affinity for Android Tablets, you’ll certainly fawn over the next generation Exynos 5250 chipset, complete with a 2GHz, dual-core ARM Cortex A15 CPU and a GPU capable of powering a 3D display at 2560×1600.

SammyHub says the Exynos 5250′s graphics performance will be 4x more powerful than previous generation and will start production in the second quarter of next year. [SammyHub via Engadget]

    Why is it every Apple article ends in Apple-haters demanding that Apple sucks and Android is way better, but when a genuinely interesting article about a huge potential speed boost to Android phones comes along, there’s no-one to be found?

    Are they all busy bitching in Apple articles?
    Hello, anyone?

    Everyone’s jaws have dropped. No comment required once you get to the part about 3D display at 2560 x 1600 capability. Which will be available in iPad 10.

        * And when it does come? It will ‘Change Everything, Again’ just like video calls that were 3 years (at least) late.

          You people never cease to amaze me. One day people will once again be excited about technology without referring to Apple to make themselves feel tougher.

    Sorry but where are the 3D displays capable of 2560×1600 resolution and the battery capable of powering this beast?

      the displays exist dude, but i agree with the battery comment, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
      when are stupid mobile processor companies going to focus on the battery life issue. i saw an awesome concept for a tri-core mobile processor (one low power, low performance core for handling things like calls, standby tasks etc; and a high performance (power eating) dual core die for gaming, videos etc) on giz a couple of years ago but noone has ever released anything of the sort

    I read elsewhere that the new Samsung Exynos processor had two revisions, one that was Quad Core and one that was Dual Core. However the Quad core was in a LittleBig Configuration and the Dual Core was a substantial improvement on the current God of Mobile processors.

    Anyone else seen similar?
