Samsung GALAXY Tab with dual-core 2GHz processor rumored for MWC
Share this page:
Earlier today we passed along the word that Samsung was weighing its options when it comes to announcing the Samsung Galaxy S III at the MWC in Barcelona next month. While no one knows if the smartphone will be presented at the show, how about Samsung's new high-end tablet? Android and Me is saying that at a closed door media event at CES earlier this month, they had a chance to play with a device that just might be a Samsung GALAXY Tab 11.6 with a dual-core 2GHz processor under the hood. The tablet allegedly is powered by the Exynos 5250 processor that is built on ARM’s latest Cortex-A15 architecture, which includes the next-gen Mali-T406 GPU.
With rumors flying that Samsung will be offering a GALAXY Tab model with an 11.6 inch display, Android and Me is calling for the Korean based tech giant to introduce a tablet with a larger than 10 inch screen at MWC. The thought here is if Samsung won't be displaying its show stopping new smartphone at the show, perhaps it will take the wraps off of its new high-end tablet. And if it was the Samsung GALAXY Tab 11.6 that was the center of attention at that closed door event in Las Vegas, the manufacturer already has the device ready for show with enough pre-production Exynos 5250s to plug inside a few model units.
Besides the high powered Exynos 5250 on board the tablet, with supposedly 5 times the graphics performance of earlier Exynos processors, Samsung could also beat Apple to the punch by displaying a tablet with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 (WXQGA), which is the high-end of expected resolutions on the Apple iPad 3. This alone could give the Korean manufacturer incentive to show off the tablet at MWC, After all, would Samsung pass on a chance to sam-sung Apple in public?

My first tablet if this is true... well, possibly. I'm still holding out to see what a Win 8 may hold.

i doubt the clock speed on the tablet is accurate, though i would just fall over if it was. On the off chance that the tablet is real, that would at least give a reason why they would want to hold off on the SGS3 announcement so that way people arent spliting massive coverage on multiple high end devices.

not to mention that the showroom floor probably isn't padded enough for the multitude of fainting attendees...

Wait "Samsung GALAXY Tab 11.6 with a 2GHz processor under the hood"
is it single-core?

Samsung is really stupid if they are going to release a tablet that's not as strong as the Quadcore rumored GS3(If its quadcore).

it doesn't necessarily have to be Quad-Core to be the best but it sure does help. (:

No it actually does. If you forgot, the Transformer has a Quadcore processor. (:

Dual-core A15 is stronger than quadcore A9.
visit arm.com for more information.

yeah, Tegra III is the best right now and yeah, it's Quad-Core but like kamejoko pointed out to you it's very much possible for a more advanced Dual-Core to surpass a Quad-Core made with older technology in comparison.

we shouldn't laugh so loud just yet. anything that can surpass Apple's A5 will be a force to be reckoned with and we don't know anything yet.
