Samsung big.LITTLE - eight-core chip in 2013

Resource EETimes reported that Samsung is working on a fundamentally new ARM-platform. It is learned that the Korean manufacturer has created a technology called big.LITTLE, which will combine the blocks productive core Cortex-A15 with more energy efficient Cortex-A7. Something like this can already be seen in the decision of Tegra 3 from Nvidia, where a fifth core, which is activated with minimal load, thus saving battery life. Honours offers from Samsung will be that productive pairs of nuclei will match the same amount of steam energy efficient. chipset first reported by EETimes, will include four core A15 processor with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz and A7 four cores clocked at 1.2 GHz . It states that the four cores will A7 performance quad processor Cortex-A8, in reality does not exist. Quad-block A15 is the next step for the platform based on two of these nuclei, which form the basis Nexus tablet 10. Samsung big.LITTLE chipset will be made ​​on 28-nanometer technology and will cache of 2 MB. should not rely on the fact that this processor platform will be used in the flagship Samsung Galaxy S IV, apparently the decision is focused on tablets, and find in them the application in the first place.
