Samsung Orion ARM Cortex-A9 and Mali-400 shown for the first time

This is Samsung’s new ARM Cortex-A9 processor. Probably, I expect, the processor that will be in the next generation of Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab type of products from Samsung and from manufacturers who will want to use Samsung’s processor in their products. My guess is it may also be fast enough to power Samsung laptops with Chrome OS or some other type of embedded Linux. It seems also to be the first demonstration of Mali-400, to be confirmed. Samsung representatives were not able to confirm anything on this processor at this point.
