Samsung Dual-Core Mobile Orion CPU Now Called Exynos

Samsung has unveiled the branding off of the company’s dual-core 1.0 GHz mobile processor, which will compete with the NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset and those from Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and others. Previously rumored and known as the Orion processor, Samsung’s mobile solution is called Exynos, derived from the Greek words exypnos–smart–and prasinos–green–highlighting the company’s smart and green initiatives.

The specific model number for the Samsung dual-core chipset is the Exynos 4210. News of Samsung’s new naming scheme comes from Korea Times.
