Samsung unveils new Exynos 5250 processors

Curious as to what could be powering Samsung’s tablets next year? Well the company has recently unveiled their all-new SoC (System on a Chip), the Exynos 5250 which is currently being clocked at 2GHz and is a Cortex-A15 dual-core processor. It was built using a lower 32nm process which means that it will consume less power (better battery life) and provides better processing power. It will also be able to support display resolutions up to 2560×1600.

Given how ASUS, Lenovo, HTC and Acer all have plans for quad-core tablets, we have to wonder why Samsung has decided to use their Exynos 5250 dual-core chips for their products. However since there aren’t any comparison tests available at the moment, perhaps there’s a good chance Samsung’s Exynos offering will be able to stand up against NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor.

These new Exynos chips are expected to begin mass production next year, so if you’re looking forward to any new Samsung tablet running on this new processor, there’s a good chance that they will be available come Q2 of 2012.
