Samsung’s dual-core Exynos 5250 is the only SoC that is based on ARM’s Cortex-A15. Now some new information has surfaced on Samsung’s Kernel Git page that reveals a quad-core processor based on ARM Cortex-A15. Samsung has added a patch to support the new processor dubbed as Exynos 5440. The reference board is identified as “SSDK5440.”
While the clock speed and other details are a mystery, the new SoC could support ARM’s big.LITTLE processing technology.

December 6, 2012 at 12:11 pmit’ll be in the s4 I would almost put money on it. The only real question is if it will be the big.little 4+4 or just A15 quad core

December 6, 2012 at 2:13 pmIdk it just comes off as ridiculous overkill for a phone, I’m going with the exynos 5 but hell that would definitely slap apple if they put this quad one in lol

December 5, 2012 at 7:23 pmbig.LITTLE is an A15 CPU paired with an A7. Last I heard, the A7 wasn’t ready yet. I figured this was just a regular A15 quad core. Am I missing something?
