    Samsung Exynos posted a video on YouTube about the Octa-Core processor.
    The First Octa-Core processor is expected to be inside the Galaxy S IV. Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S IV tonight in New York City! More information hit over Samsung Exynos.

    This animated display for the Exynos 5 Octa mobile processor was featured in the Samsung Exynos booth at Mobile World Congress 2013. Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa is the industry's first ARM® big.LITTLE™-enabled mobile application processor (AP).

    The Exynos 5 Octa pairs ultra-efficient ARM® Cortex™-A7 (LITTLE) cores with Cortex™-A15 (big) cores designed for the highest performance. This new system-on-chip (SoC) uses LITTLE cores to handle tasks like emailing, light web search and map navigation and uses the big cores for heavy-duty applications like graphic-intensive gaming.

    It demonstrates the progression in process technology from 90nm to 28nm, which has resulted in greater speeds and energy-efficiency in Exynos mobile application processors (APs) developed with the technology. For example, the Exynos 5 Octa can offer up to 70% in energy savings thanks to Samsung's HKMG process.
