Code-named "Hummingbird," this new chip is intentional with smartphones in mind as it balances power use and high measure speeds. The C. H. Best part is that hints square measure flight astir how easily this CPU could be maladjusted for the Orchard apple tree of our eyes:

Samsung could drop Hummingbird into the nonexistent S5PC100 design with many or no changes," Halfhill aforementioned in reaction to an e-mail ask, referring to the S5PC100 CPU present victimised in the iPhone 3GS. "Keno! A next-gen iPhone that could run at speeds up to 1.0GHz," he said.

Will we soon be playacting with iPhones and Pres running 1 GHz? Or bequeath they be limited by design? I good recognise that my heart appraise matches a hummingbird's at the thinking of a 3G S(uper) S(peedy). [CNET]
