Seems like 28nm has been a problem, Samsung only just seeming to get theirs running well too, my SGSIII seems very good with it's quad-core 28nm chip. Everybody I know seems to have a decent ARM chip in a device too now

[keithwalton]

The SGS3 actually has a 32nm chip in it. Samsung have only just moved over to the far more proven 32nm HKMG process (the same process previously used by intel and still used by amd) rather than the troublesome 28nm tsmc use.
Which I suspect is why apple wanted to ditch samsung in favor of tsmc but had to go crawling back when they couldn't make anywhere near as many chips as apple wanted.

The days of arm soc's are numbered though as intel's efforts are slowly gaining momentum and once the redesigned atom core built @ 22nm gets here everyone else will be eating there dust

I doubt that sweeping statement will come true...ARM are way ahead of Intel these days, something that won't change for many many years if it does at all...
