Such processor speed, Samsung claims, will narrow the gap between a smartphone and a full-fledged desktop PC, at least when it comes to data processing power.
"We are planning to release a 2 GHz dual core CPU-equipped smartphone by next year. This product will have the data processing capacities of a regular PC," said a high-ranking official from Samsung, according to South Korean search engine Daum.
Samsung also plans to sell the CPUs (which will probably be launched under Samsung's Exynos brand) separately to other phone makers.
