Samsung's new Exynos 5 Octa 5420 brings double the GPU power of the current silicon

It should come as no surprise that next year's chips will be better than this years. Moore's Law and common sense tell us that product specification will continue to rise, even if we no longer need them to be more powerful. The CPU in your smartphone is no different.

Samsung has unveiled the new Exynos 5 Octa 5420, which has a six-core ARM Mali-T628 GPU and runs a big.LITTLE implementation with four ARM Cortex-A15 cores at 1.8 GHz, and four Cortex-A7 cores at 1.3GHz . Samsung says this new chip will boost 3D graphic processing performance to double that of the current Exynos 5 Octa, be able to run complex and computationally intensive algorithms or operations on the GPU, and fully support OpenGL ES 3.0 and Full Profile Open CL 1.1. These are the types of advancements that mean more than extra cores and more Gigahertz, and will open new opportunities for vendors who use the chips in mobile devices and laptops. 

The new Exynos is currently being shopped around to OEMs and vendors, and we should expect to see the chip go into full production in August. The full press release follows the jump.
