Samsung\u2019s processor design team has been on a roll with fast chips this year with the Exynos 4 Quad and Exynos 5 Dual. Based on its agenda for the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, that momentum isn\u2019t about to stop. A company presentation at the event on February 19th will delve into a new heterogeneous, 8-core processor that relies on ARM\u2019s concept of big.LITTLE computing: one half is a quad-core, 1.8GHz ARM Cortex-A15 that will do all the heavy lifting, while the other is a quad 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 that takes over in quieter moments. We don\u2019t know much more about the chip beyond the expected 28-nanometer manufacturing process, but it\u2019s easy to see a mobile chip that\u2019s fast without having to consume much energy in its downtime. Most of the mystery surrounds where Samsung will launch the processor first, rather than what it can do: the big.LITTLE chip would be most valuable in a smartphone, but a potentially large size could relegate it to tablets early on.<\/p>\n
