Samsung has recently unveiled two new chipsets. First one is Samsung's first hexa-core processor named Exynos 5260 and up next is Exynos 5422 octa-core processor. Both the chips are made up of ARM's chipsets. The only thing that Samsung did is used a little technology to pair ARM's Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 chipsets. A15 is a high
powered, fast processor while A7 is a low powered processor slower than A15. Both the chips are used to maintain the performance and battery consumption. And on top of that, both the chipsets use Heterogeneous multi-processor (HMP) technology which means they can run all the cores at the same time. But to save power, the processors won't be used when not required (thanks to the HMP technology).
Exynos 5260 uses 2 ARM Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 1.7GHz and 4 Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 1.3GHz. It will support resolutions up to 2160 x 1600 pixels and 1080p video playback. On the other hand, Exynos 5422 uses 4 ARM Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 2.1GHz and 4 Cortex-A7 cores with the speed of 1.5GHz. According to Samsung, Exynos 5422 will support a playback of 4K Ultra HD.

Galaxy Note 3 Neo was the first device spotted with the hexa-core processor. It is rumored that an octa-core version of Samsung's latest flagship,
Galaxy S5, will go on sale in selected markets based on Exynos 5422 chipset.
