UBM TechInsights
analysis has revealed that the just-released Samsung Wave S8500 features
the same 1 GHz ARM CORTEX A8 core as that found in the very popular
Apple iPad.
 "By investigating the Samsung S5PC110A01 application
processor and comparing it to the A4 application processor found in the
Apple iPad using our specialized lab techniques, we were able to confirm
that not only is Samsung the manufacturer of both application
processors, but both application processors feature the same 1 GHz ARM
CORTEX A8 core manufactured using a 45-nanometer low-power fabrication
process," said Young Choi, Senior Manager of the Technical Intelligence
Group. "With this find, we begin to see how Samsung is successfully
asserting itself as the leader in the wireless and mobile applications
processor market." With the recent surge in
sales of the iPad, speculation that the next generation Apple iPhone
will also feature the same A4 processor as that of the iPad, and the
belief that the soon-to-be released Android OS-enabled Samsung Galaxy S
Smartphone will also use the S5PC110A01, sales of Samsung manufactured
processors is expected to reach very high-levels. With these key sockets
in place Samsung will easily maintain its position as the market leader
in application processors that it originally attained in 2009. www.ubmtechinsights.comFor
