Dual-Core CPU Opens Door To 1080p On Smartphones

Posted by timothy on from the you'll-need-retina-display-mk2 dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Following Qualcomm, Samsung is also close to launching a new smartphone processor with two cores. Based on ARM architecture, the new Orion processor promises five times the graphics performance of current chips and to enable 1080p video recording and playback. Next year, it seems, dual-core smart phones will be all the rage. Apple, which is generally believed to have the most capable processor in the market today, may be under pressure to roll out a dual-core iPhone next year as well."

    Since when have iPhone been about following the trend? They are completely relying on their fanboys/girls running iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii when they release something. Don't expect an iPhone dual core the next 2-3 years.

    Personally, I'd rather have all the pixels. I can do my own damn 'digital zoom' in MS Paint.
