Korean cell phone giant, Samsung, has publicly announced its first dual-core mobile processor, the Orion, which will consist of two 1-GHz ARM Cortex A9 cores.

The Orion will significantly increase the video capabilities of mobile devices, allowing for 1080p video playback and recording at 30 frames per second. It will also improve 3D graphics performance and increase device speed and efficiency overall.

“Consumers are demanding the full web experience without compromise while on the go,” commented Samsung’s vice president of marketing, Dojun Rhee. “Given this trend, mobile device designers need an application processor platform that delivers superb multimedia performance, fast CPU processing speed, and abundant memory bandwidth. Samsung’s newest dual core application processor chip is designed specifically to fulfill such stringent performance requirements while maintaining long battery life.”

Samsung expects to release its new processor to select customers by the end of this year, with mass production scheduled for the first half of 2011.
