Samsung propose by the end of the year an update to its Exynos processor 5 Octa. Operator totally Big.LITTLE ARM technology, then they can run their eight cores simultaneously.
Samsung Exynos 5 Octa: an update to run the eight cores
As expected, Samsung has upgraded its processor Exynos 5 to allow it to be more powerful. No material revision to the program, since it requires the addition of Heterogeneous Multi-Processing software solution (HMP) in firmware. This allows the chip to fully support the Big.LITTLE ARM technology and operate its eight cores simultaneously. At present, the Exynos 5 Octa can not, despite its name, use a maximum of four cores simultaneously.
Specifically, four of them use the Cortex-A15 architecture for priority tasks (eg 3D games) and the other four Cortex-A7 architecture for secondary tasks (web browsing for example). This technology will be implemented by the end of 2013 and can therefore be used for devices that use the Exynos 5 Octa as the new Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 just unveiled at the IFA in Berlin.
