Samsung's Origen reference board sports a dual-core 1GHz Samsung Exynos 4210 system-on-chip (SoC) processor based on ARM's Cortex A9 design. It delivers graphics processing via a Mali-400 core and the chip is mated to 1GB of DDR3 RAM. The board is set to retail for less than $200 (£120) and become the Samsung reference design for developers who want to get in on dual-core ARM action.
Stephen Doel, COO of Linaro told The INQUIRER that the time is right for low-cost ARM Cortex A9 reference boards to arrive and that it is still too early for boards with chips based on ARM's Cortex A15 to appear. Doel added that he expects the Samsung's Origen board "to be the default development board".
