Samsung has a long history of designing and producing System on Chips (SoCs) and has been manufacturing SoCs for its own devices as well as others, for example Apple. The first Samsung SoC, S3C44B0, was built around an ARM7 CPU which operated at 66 MHz clock frequency. Later several SoCs, S3C2xxx, containing an ARM9 CPU were produced.[1]
In 2010 Samsung launched the S5PC110 also known as Hummingbird (now Exynos 3110) in its mobile phone Galaxy S which had a licensed ARM Cortex-A8 CPU with a PowerVR SGX540 GPU.
In 2011 Samsung launched the Exynos 4210 SoC in its Galaxy S II mobile phone.
In fall 2011 Samsung introduced Exynos 4212 with higher clock frequency and “50 percent higher 3D graphics performance over the previous processor generation". Built with 32 nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) low-power process it promises “30 percent lower power-level over the previous process generation.”
