An unnamed Samsung exec hinted to the
Korea Times that its upcoming flagship, the
Galaxy S III, will include a next-gen quad-core
Exynos chip that will incorporate LTE and WCDMA radios. Of course, such a revelation shouldn't come as
too much of a surprise since both its
predecessors were built around home grown silicon... at least originally. According to the source, Sammy is trying to become more self reliant and distance itself from Qualcomm which has provided single-chip solutions for a number of the manufacturer's high-end handsets. The new AP appears to be the
32nm slab of silicon we heard about before MWC, which is sporting four A9 cores and not the more powerful
A15. The executive said the development of the all-in-one chip is complete and its simply a matter of sticking them inside smartphones. Now, when exactly we can hope to see such a device hit the market is still a bit of a mystery.
