Samsung Launches Exynos 5 Dual-Core SoC, Brings 1.7GHz Speed And Mali-T604 GPU Goodness 3

You already know Samsung's Exynos 5250 processors are screamers, but don't forget— Samsung is always finding new ways to develop and produce better cutting edge technology. Enter Samsung's Exynos 5 dual-core processors: A15 chips clocked at 1.7GHz and complimented with a Mali-T604 GPU which outperforms even the fastest quad-core processors in the land (i.e. Tegra 3 or Exynos processors). When paired with Samsung's new Exynos 5, the Mali-T604 GPU is capable of supporting 2560×1600 WQXGA resolutions and items like LPDDR3 RAM 800MHz RAM, USB 3.0 and Panel Self Refresh for reduced power consumption — all of this built using Samsung’s 32nm HKMG (High K Metal Gate) manufacturing process which allows for up to 30% less power consumption.

Expect Samsung's newest screamer to be found in upcoming devices, like the Galaxy Note 2 perhaps?

Of course, no actual products come out with these new processors. Where are the Exynos 5250 based tablets and phones? I want my ARM Cortex A15 nao!!!
