Samsung has unveiled two 1GHz ARM CORTEX-A8-based application processors for mobile devices. The SP5C110 is intended for small form factor gadgets like smartphones, while the S5PV210 is meant for netbooks.
Both low-power, 45-nanometer processors last longer on standard size batteries. Each one includes 32KB data and 32KB instruction caches along with a 512KB L2 cache, which the company said enables real-time Web browsing and smooth UI response.
Both chips also come with built-in 3D graphics engines for gaming, and 1080p HD codec engines for playing or recording high definition video at 30 frames per second. There's also an on-board HDMI 1.3 interface for output to an external display.
The CPUs will be available in sample sizes for manufacturers in December 2009; expect to see actual consumer products using these chips sometime next year. (Via Phone Scoop)

I own the G1 and I love it, I will continue to support Google and the Android platform. With all the great programmers involved with the project I don't see how it can fail, both commercial and private programmers alike. I think my G1 has like a 300mhz processor in it and you are able to over clock it to about 500mhz, Cant wait until they get faster chips in them, its a real exciting time for technology! GO HTC!

This is really great! Finally! Low-power ARM processors that can compete in the huge Cell Phone Market and the Netbook
Market. Processor simplicity (compared to some other brands)and now two that are "up to speed" for netbooks,etc!
