Some more rumors to chew on, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy SIII,

[Bateluer]

Samsung just outed their 1.5 GHz Exynos 4212, but I'm almost 100% confident the Verizon "Galaxy Nexus" device will have a TI OMAP 4460 clocked at either 1.2ghz or 1.5ghz unless they did a major redesign (early hardware hat the TI chip clocked at 1.2ghz...but Samsung could've done that as a testbed for ICS while working on the final hardware.)

Wasn't OMAP4 chosen as the reference platform for ICS? It'd make sense for the ICS Nexus to be OMAP4 based.

I wish there were more leaks....

Apparently the SGS2 HD will use a new version of the Exynos:

"Sampling in Q4 2011" means you won't see any actual products for another ~6 months after that sample.
Good thing I didn't wait for this.

I'm not interested in anything new until ARM A15 cores.
That should come out in about 2 years.

6 months is probably right, if they are lucky with wafers and since it's in house production the should shave some time off though still be late IMO, even if the revised Exynos can back up those PR numbers. 32nm silicon sampling in 2011 still impressive considering they aren't specialized like Intel or Nvidia.

A15 cores won't take that long but I do think the Evo just might miss the die shrink and that's what all are waiting for.

I think it's ironic how Samsung delayed it's US SGS2 launch too far into the Prime launch. Those buying the T-Mobile version of the SGS2 will get to see the Prime/ICS announcement, possibly hands on videos before they can even get their own hands on the SGS2.

Depending on Prime details, it may put a dent in SGS2 sales in the US, especially if the actual launch date is imminent. Nexus announcement is always a big enough of a deal to catch even the mainstream consumer's attention.
