Aus Orion wird Exynos – Samsung nennt Dual-Core-Prozessor um
Samsung verpasst seinem Orion-Prozessor nicht nur einen neuen Namen, sondern dreht auch an der Taktschraube. Der aktuelle Dual-Core-Chipsatz wird ab sofort Exynos 4210 heißen und nicht die vermutete Taktrate von 1,2 GHz pro Kern haben. Er soll mit 1GHz getaktet sein und könnte durchaus im Galaxy S 2 zum Einsatz kommen, aber nur wenn sich die Gerüchte um den 1,2 GHz-Prozessor als falsch herausstellen. Orion klang irgendwie geschmeidiger, da Exynos aber fei übersetzt für das neue Motto von Samsung „smart and green“ steht, ist das natürlich auch okay. Am Ende kommt es ja eh nicht auf den Namen an.
