Software Update to enable true-octa core on all Exynos 5s




Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa chipset available now on the market can't actually utilize all eight cores at the same time. Both 5410 and 5420 chips can use either the four Cortex-A7 cores or the four Cortex-A15 at a time. Now according to the sources Samsung has decided to fix this and the Samsung manufacturer has announced its latest revision of the Exynos platform will support simultaneous operation of all eight cores.
Samsung will deploy this new solution by the end of this year.
Samsung announcement left us wondering that if the current generation Exynos 5 chips can get the extra capabilities as well, hence the Samsung didn't specify if it required changing anything or architecture level. Meizu is the other Exynos using manufacturer, Chipped in and brought some good news.
Upcoming Meizu MX3 is the latest device which will be relying on Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa chipset, the manufacturers is surely interested in the future of its upcoming flagship. So it seems Meizu will knows for sure this true Octa-Core capabilities are unlock able via a software update.

We guess all Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 owners who get Exynos-based models should expect such an update in the upcoming months.
