Samsung have just released the first specs for their new Soc that was announced in Feb.
http://www.samsung.com/global/syste...product/2008/4/23/370911ptb_s3c6410_rev20.pdf
The previous gen processor is the one in the iphone, using MBX 3D from IMG.
The specs above state that the 3D hardware is OpenGles 2.0 compliant, something that MBX is not, and Samsung has not licenced IMG's OpenGles 2.0 compliant core, SGX.
So who is supplying the graphics, is it Arm's own Mali, is this Apple supplying its own SGX licence to Samsung to produce the chips (but surely they would not publish even the existence of this chip in that case).
