Samsung's next-gen flagship chipset Exynos 8890, also known as Exynos M1, will enter mass production starting this December. The chipset will be mass produced in Samsung's Giheung plant and will be based on the ARMv8 architecture with a custom CPU core from Samsung.

Samsung wants to have custom cores to even further reduce cost and optimize chip products for smartphones and tablets. From what we know, the chipset will have an octa-core processor clocked at up to 2.3 GHz. Some reports suggest the SoC also suffers from overheating issues regardless of being built using 14nm FinFet process, but none of this has been confirmed. If the rumours about the overheating are true, we doubt Samsung would use such high CPU clocks, but lets wait for new details.
