Samsung has announced the Exynos 5250, a system on a chip (SoC) with dual central processor (CPU) based on ARM designs A15. This chip will run at a speed of 2GHz, and it's interesting because at the same frequency it should be up to 2X faster than the Cortex A9 designs currently used in most high-end SoCs.
This is possible because Cortex A15 can execute two instructions simultaneously similar to features that have been proven to be introduced on the Intel Pentium PC original. Combined that with the double frequency and there is great potential for a very fast chip.
