By now it has been made clear that Snapdragon
800 is the top dog in ARM processors and Samsung Exynos 5 Octa and Snapdragon
600 will have to settle with the second and third spot respectively. However,
it seems like that won’t be the case for long, since Samsung is set to unveil
an enhanced version of its Exyno 5 Octa. The company posted about a more
powerful version of Exynos 5 Octa on its Twitter page Samsung has just announced an enhanced
version of its Exynos 5 Octa chipset. Currently the Octa chipset is available
only on the I9500
Galaxy S4 flagship. The
second generation Exynos 5 Octa might be called Exynos Evolved and will be
officially presented next week. So far the teaser just says it’s "a more
powerful, enhanced Exynos 5 Octa". It seems Samsung is launching the new
chipset just in time for the Galaxy Note III that's supposed to be unveiled in
September and launch this Fall. The smartphone has been in the rumorlands for
quite a while and it should be available in a couple of versions - one with
Snapdragon 800 and another one powered by this improved Octa chipset. Also, since competitors like Sony would have Snapdragon 800
on the Xperia ZU phablet, Samsung would obviously want something on their Note
III that could come close to the Snapdragon 800 in raw power. We could also see
a Snapdragon 800 version of Note III, but that’s just speculation for now. Samsung promises to bring detailed
specifications and more details on the new Exynos next week. Then we'll learn
more about its GPU and the exact clock speed of its eight cores.
