Samsung has announced its next generation
Exynos processor that will be powering its next Galaxy smartphone. The
Exynos 4 Quad comes with four Cortex A9 cores that can go up to 1.4GHz
individually and is based on Samsung's 32nm HKMG fabrication process.

The Exynos 4 Quad, also known as the Exynos 4212 (previously as the
4412), packs two times the number of cores as the Exynos 4 Dual (Exynos
4210) that you find in the Galaxy S II but due to the more efficient
32nm processor is said to be 20 percent more efficient. The Exynos 4
Quad also uses power gating on all four cores along with frequency and
voltage scaling for every core, which would help it cut down on power
consumption when not in use. Samsung did not mention what GPU it will be
using but it is likely to be the Mali 400-MP.
The new Exynos 4 Quad is said to be pin-to-pin compatible with the
Exynos 4 Dual, which would allow hardware manufacturers to easily
upgrade to the new chip.
We will see how this new chip performs in comparison to the current chips when the next Galaxy device comes out.
