[Roadmap] of the processors ARM Of cortex from Samsung Tweet

While in the network appeared rumors about the fact that the company Of apple deals with the developments of the processor, which must arrive on the change established into iPad and, supposedly, into iPhone of the fourth generation to the processor Of [a]4, the company Of samsung allowed “the leakage” of information about her own developments ARM of processors. There is nothing surprising in the very fact of the developments Of apple, and here [roadmap] Of samsung is of interest, since in it the periods of appearance and possibility of new processors are indicated. Document, published EETimes confirm the previously available information about the fact that several generations of processors for the mobile devices will be replaced in the period between 2010 and 2013.


New ARM processors are intended for [netbukov] and other mobile devices (their list it is not refined). First must appear Orion, which is been binuclear 800- MHz by the processor Of cortex-A9. Test models will be finished in the third quarter of present year, and series production will be begun already in the first quarter of 2011.

The platform Of pegasus includes the mononuclear processor Of cortex-A9 with a clock frequency of 1 GHz. Prototypes will reach readiness in second quarter 2011, and production starts in the fourth quarter of the same year.

1 GHz binuclear Cortex-A9 Of hercules will be finished in the third quarter of 2011 and will be neglected into the mass production since the beginning of 2012.

In 2010/2011 years will be released Mercury on the basis of the processor Of cortex-A5 (Sparrow) with a clock frequency of 600 MHz.

In 2012/2013 years will be represented it [chipset] Venus with binuclear Of cortex-A5 and clock frequency of 600 MHz.

In 2012/2013 will be also represented binuclear Draco with the nucleus Of cortex-A9 and a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz and four-nuclear Aquila with the same nucleus and clock frequency.

In the documents is not indicated what graphic processor will be established together with diverse ARM by nuclei. For a period of many years the company Of samsung uses graphic processors of a series Of powerVR from the company Of imagination Of technologies Of group. But in February this year it was declared about the intention to inject in ARM of [chipsety] the graphic processors Of mali. The latter it was intended to also use, also, in the promising systems on the crystal (SoC).
