Last time, smartphone’s processor aren’t specified, but now we’re spear-heading towards dual-core SoC ARM processors with energy saving and all those advance technologies. Ready for some crazy news? This year we see plenty of smartphones going dual-core thanks to Nvidia’s Tegra 2 SoC and Qualcomm dual-core Scorpion SoC, and Apple has got their dual-core A5 chip. Now, Samsung is going to set the standard (unless someone comes out with something even faster, like the next quad-core Tegra 3).

A ‘high ranking’ company official in Samsung has disclosed the Korean giant’s intention to develop a dual-core smartphone that runs on 2GHz. The madness! That’s 2GHz for each core, not the specious 1GHz multiplied by two those kind of mathematics that Sanjay Jha likes to dabble in. ARM already has a dual-core Cortex-A9 design capable of scaling such speed heights, which is most probably the basis on which Samsung is building its future processor on.

The report goes on to state that Samsung will consider selling the chips separately, so you wouldn’t necessarily have to buy a Samsung-branded handset in order to have what’s being described as desktop-class performance in the palm of your hand.

Now, what I want to see is HTC going friendly with Samsung and getting their new dual-core chips and Super-AMOLED screens, and incorporate it with HTC’s Sense UI. Now that’s what everyone wants!
