We have been talking for a while now about the Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone. We heard not too long ago that the smartphone was getting a faster processor clock speed with a speed bump to 1.2GHz. There were also rumors floating around at the same time that the phone would be delayed until May or June.
Samsung has confirmed via a Tweet that the Galaxy S II will launch in April as was originally planned. That is good news for the fans of the device that are planning to buy one. Other than the 1.2GHz speed, the specs are the same. The smartphone will run the Tegra 2 processor in some areas.
In other areas, it will use the Exynos dual-core Cortex A9. Both the Tegra and Samsung chips will run at the same speed. We still don’t know what region will get what processor; I would prefer the Tegra version myself.

Great news.
As long as Australia gets the Exynos
Prefer the tegra 2 chip? R u mad? Tegra 2 just about beats the original hummingbird for the Galaxy S. Exynos will kill all cpus coming this year and mid 2012
I disagree. Exynos will not kill all cpus coming this year and mid 2012. Kal-El (Tegra 3) is coming to tablets and phones in late fall and will reset the bar with respect to gpu and cpu speeds.
lol… texas instruments is on their way finishing a quadcore processor running at 2.0 ghz. before the year ends(Q3-Q4) so, NO!

Agreed. All benchmarks put hummingbird graphics on par with current Tegra 2 graphics. HOWEVER, Tegra 2 blows HB out of the water with non-graphics related processing on apps that can take advantage of a dual-core environment.
Hope the U.K gets the Exynos too!
if i find out that my sgs 2 dosent have the Exynos cpu then i’m sending it back when i get it
