Although this year only the first steps were taken towards the adoption of dual-core processors in smartphones and tablets, Samsung intends to bring a 2 Ghz dual-core processor to the market next year for mobile terminals. Currently, the most powerful dual-core processors for smartphones and tablets are clocked at 1.2 Ghz, but Samsung WANTS to change this situation and launch processors with a higher frequency even than some laptops now available on the market. Their intentions are more than interesting, but I don't think such a processor will be implemented in any smartphone or tablet in the near future because I imagine it will have quite high manufacturing prices.
"We are planning to release a 2Ghz dual core CPU-equipped smartphone by next year," said a high-ranking official from the company. "This product will have the data processing capabilities of a regular PC."
Samsung is still developing the dual core CPU to be used in the smartphone. It is highly likely that it will be launched under the Exynos brand, a processor brand launched by the company in February.
The ARM company also plans to design prototypes capable of reaching the same speeds, but for now no official announcement has been made and no information has come from company members. Having a smartphone faster than a laptop could become a fashion in the future, but we have to keep the proportions because we are still talking about totally different devices.
