It is not yet known when the devices with chips made with 28 nanometer fabrication will be realized. However, due to potentially have a large physical size, it is likely that it will first be applied to the tablet.
Having spawned four Exynos Dual Quad and Exynos 5 this year, Samsung is preparing a so-called 8-core processors.
Eight-core processor for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, the plan will be announced at the International Conference on Solid-State Circuits February 19 next year.
As quoted from Phone Arena, Samsung is reportedly processors built on the concept "big.LITTLE.computing" from which a number of major core ARM processor core is equipped with some of the "companion".
In this case, the Samsung processor will have four core ARM Cortex-A15 speed 1.8 GHz to handle heavy tasks, with four ARM Cortex-A7 cores running at 1.2 GHz frequency that will handle the processing of light.
The concept is similar to the "companion core" that is applied in the Nvidia Tegra 3 (among others used in tablet Goolge Nexus One and HTC 7 X) where four core processor aided by a fifth core to handle minor tasks to save battery.
