If you’ve been paying attention you should know that the iPhone 3GS currently features a Samsung Cortex A-8 processor running at 600MHz. Well, Samsung has come along to show Apple what could have been.

What you see above is Samsung’s latest Cortex A8 core which the company is currently touting as the world’s fastest at 1GHz. Of course, since it’s apparently the world’s fastest, Samsung had to give it the ridiculously appropriate code name of “Hummingbird”.

Perhaps we will see these appear in future smartphones thus blurring the line between smartphones and computers even further.
