Samsung today announced a slew of new technical components for mobile devices. First, Samsung has developed new embedded memory modules for smartphones that adopt the e-MMC 4.41 specification. This specification's biggest improvement is that it provides improved multitasking and the ability to help devices better manage read/write cycles. Samsung has already started manufacturing the 8GB moviNAND chips, and will follow with the 16GB chips later this month. Second, Samsung introduced a range of new CMOS sensors for mobile devices, including the S5K4E5 module for smartphones. This new CMOS sensor has adopted back side illuminated (BSI) pixel technology, which improves low-light performance by 30%. The S5K4E5 has a 5 megapixel sensor and supports video capture at 30 frames per second. Samsung claims it also has reduced lag time for faster picture taking. Third, Samsung introduced a new, dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 processor for smartphones. The new processor, which is named Orion, has two processor cores each with 32Kb data cache, 32Kb instruction cache, and 1MB L2 cache. Samsung says the Orion is ideal for multimedia applications, and it supports 30 frames per second video playback, full 1080p HD video recording, and 3D gaming with its enhanced graphics processing unit. The Orion will be sampling by the fourth quarter of 2010, and Samsung expects it to go into full production in the first quarter of 2011.

production before sampling?

"The Orion will be sampling by the fourth quarter of 2011, and Samsung expects it to go into full production in the first quarter of 2011."

I don't know how but this chip will go back in time. Seriously aren't the writers of this stuff supposed to be good and know when to use spell check, or something?

If journalism is coming down maybe I don't have to worry about kids being so dumb and uneducated. They can always be writers or reporters.
It's called a typo. It happens.
Because spellcheck will know the difference between 2010 and 2011 🙄
I noticed a similar post as yours on BGR, same news headline.

It will be available to “select customers” *after* it’s scheduled to be in mass production? It would be nice if BGR would at least copy article...
