Microprocessor Exynos 4 Quad, also known as Exynos 4212 (previously it was the model 4412), has twice as many cores than 4 Exynos Dual (Exynos 4210), found in the smartphone Galaxy S II. Through the use of a new 32-nanometer process processor energy efficiency increased by 20%. Exynos Quad 4 uses the power of all four cores, distributing the load between them. Unfortunately, Samsung does not specify the use of graphics processing unit. High probability that it is 400 Mali-MP.
