Samsung has been tight-lipped about the processor that will be equipped in the “Next Galaxy” flagship phone from Samsung, possibly called the Galaxy S III. A few moments ago, we reported that Samsung Galaxy S III has topped the all other Android devices that have been benchmarked in the AnTuTu database and the Galaxy S III has been listed with dual-core Exynos 4412 processor. Well, Samsung has officially confirmed in its press release that the brand new quad-core Exynos processor, clocked at 1.4GHz, will power the upcoming Galaxy S III handset.
Yes, Sammy is going to use its own quad-core 32nm Exynos based off ARM’s Cortex A9 architecture for every next Galaxy device.
