Samsung introduced a new mobile processor core similar to the one in the iPhone 3GS. Nicknamed <i>'<a href="http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/newsView.do?news_id=1030" target="_blank">Hummingbird</a>'</i>, the chip runs at 1GHz, compared to the 6Mhz chip in the iPhone. Theoretically, such a chip could potentially be used in future iPhone models with only minor changes. <!--break-->
<blockquote>"Samsung could drop Hummingbird into the existing S5PC100 design with few or no changes," Halfhill said in response to an e-mail query, referring to the S5PC100 processor now used in the iPhone 3GS. "Bingo! A next-gen iPhone that could run at speeds up to 1.0GHz," he said.</blockquote>
