Samsung Semiconductor announce a new model in their Exynos Cortex-A9 CPU line. The new Exynos 4212 offers a dual core processor running at 1.5GHz,  video playback/recording of 1080p video, and a direct on-chip HDMI 1.4 interface. These features, combined with the 30% power efficiency from the 32nm process over the previous process, mean that this core is well placed for the tablet and high-end smart phone markets.

Sampling is expected to be available in Q4 2011.
