Galaxy S III Presents Quad-core CPU and on-chip LTE

Samsung Galaxy S III apparently has been the one that many people are waiting for as the most famosy expecting phone ever besides iPhone 5. But, the vendor from South Korean also makes us wonder what will be the next successor of the Samsung Galaxy S II is and when this is to be released on the market. The question is still unanswered.

Galaxy S III Presents Quad-core CPU and on-chip LTE
An unnamed Samsung exec hinted to the Korea Times that its upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S III, will include a next-gen quad-core Exynos chip that will incorporate LTE and WCDMA radios. Of course, such a revelation shouldn't come as too much of a surprise since both its predecessors were built around home grown silicon... at least originally. 

According to the source, Sammy is trying to become more self reliant and distance itself from Qualcomm which has provided single-chip solutions for a number of the manufacturer's high-end handsets. The new AP appears to be the 32nm slab of silicon we heard about before MWC, which is sporting four A9 cores and not the more powerful A15. 

"Samsung’s single-chip solution is a combination of long-term evolution (LTE), telecommunications and W-CDMA functions,’’ a high-ranking company executive said Monday.

The executive said the development of the all-in-one chip is complete and its simply a matter of sticking them inside smartphones. Now, when exactly we can hope to see such a device hit the market is still a bit of a mystery.

It's still anyone's guess what will be the architecture of the four CPU cores inside the next Galaxy S device. The 32nm version of the Cortex-A9 surfaces most frequently, but Cortex-A15 cores haven't been completely ruled out too. A quad-core Mali GPU is also all but certain, but it's unclear if it will be the all new T604 or merely an upgraded version of the 400MP used in the Galaxy S II.
