Samsung unveiled a new ARM CPU, aka Cortex A9, with clock speed reaching 1 GHz, faster than the current Cortex A8 currently powering the iPhone 3GS (estimated clock speed, from 600 to 833 MHz). This new processor will not drain more power thanks to its thinner engraving process (45 nm vs. 65 nm), in other words 640 mW.If Apple could use it in future generation of iPhones, the company could also prefer to use multi core CPU, in order to better manage work load, and deactivate one core when not required. It would also imply that Apple can easily offer coding support for existing applications.
