Samsung expected to debut 2GHz dual-core smartphone by 2012
Smartphone processors are evolving from 1GHz to 1.2GHz dual-core power lately, but Samsung plans to step things up considerably by next year. It is being reported that Samsung is planning to release a smartphone powered by a 2GHz dual-core processor by the end of 2012. Rumor has it that the Galaxy S III smartphone would be the first device with a dual-core 2GHz processor on it. It looks like the Motorola Atrix Lapdock might not be the only product we see like that!
Samsung is expected to both produce and sell these soon-to-be ground-breaking CPUs, which will narrow the gap between a smartphone and a full-fledged desktop PC. Thus, if the CPUs are sold separately, we could be seeing this technology in a number of other devices next year – not just in whatever might be the next installment of the Galaxy S series. While this is certainly exciting and deserves support, such advancements could lead to higher prices and less battery life initially. It might be awhile before a smartphone with this processing power seems like a great deal overall.
