Samsung introduced a new version of the processor Exynos 5 Octa mobile

The South Korean company Samsung Electronics introduced a new solution in a series of Exynos - the industry's first processor based on the 6-core graphics performance ARM Mali-T628 MP6 with a high level of performance.Designed for mobile devices, the new eight-core processor based on ARM Cortex will, according to the manufacturer, a powerful and effective tool for designers working on expanding the functionality of the existing user interface directly within the system architecture.

The new processor Samsung Exynos family of 5 Octa (model Exynos 5420) used a 6-core GPU ARM Mali-T628, which doubles the performance of 3D-graphics over its predecessor in the series Exynos 5 Octa. The new processor is able to perform general-purpose computing (General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units), speeding up computation of complex algorithms and other operations that are traditionally handled by the CPU. Also, it supports OpenGL ES 3.0 technology and Full Profile Open CL 1.1, which provide the necessary performance for the most demanding game scenarios, data processing, instant multimedia content.

The new processor Exynos 5420 on the architecture of ARM big.LITTLE contains four productive core ARM Cortex-A15, clocked at 1.8 GHz, and four additional core Cortex-A7 with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. It provides a gain of computational performance of 20% compared with the previous model series Exynos Octa 5 by optimizing energy efficiency.

Built-in single-chip chip unit MIC (multiple image compression) IP reduces power consumption when transmitting images or multimedia data from memory to the display of a mobile device. The result is maximized operating time of mobile devices with high-resolution screen, such as WQXGA (2500 x 1600).

The new processor Exynos 5 Octa provides a memory bandwidth of 14.9 GB / s, supports dual channel LPDDR3 with frequency 933 MHz and full functionality of the full HD Wifi-screen. Novick also can process 1080p video at 60 frames per second.

At the moment the new processor family, Exynos 5 Octa available to device manufacturers in the form of individual samples, and the beginning of mass production is planned for August 2013.
