One of the things I adore about my Galaxy S II is the speed at which it does things.

Nothing seems as well most for it, and the reason for which is the illusory processor inside, the so called System On a Chip, or SOC.

In the S II it’s a 1.2 GHz twin core ARM Cortex-A9 processor using Samsung’s Exynos 4210 System on a thinly slice (SoC). Coupled with this is ARM’s Mali-400 MP- GPU, which handles the graphics.

Interestingly the Cortex-A9 core is additionally implemented in the Nvidia Tegra 2 array and the Apple A5.

This multiple lets the S II fly by tasks such as multitasking, opening web pages, and personification graphics complete games. Stuff which up compartment right away brought obtuse powered phones to their knees.

Something else this chip-set has is await for ARM’s SIMD engine, additionally well known as Media Processing Engine, or ‘NEON’ instructions. This should give it a poignant opening value when decoding multimedia codecs and formats. It contingency be operative since I found which even HD cinema (like Avatar) playback perfectly.

Newer inclination will of march be entrance out with even faster and improved SOCs, though the Galaxy S II was the initial to uncover the approach when it comes to multi core processors in smartphones.
