Following my post about Samsung Exynos 5260 hexa core processor, I’ve been informed that some other patches have been submitted about Samsung GH7 ARMv8 SoC, which should be the other processor announced at MWC 2014.
A look at the device tree file shows four ARMv8 cores:

The patch also include code for Samsung SSDK-GH7 board with 2GB RAM. That’s about all we know for now.
Thanks to David for the tip.

Cool! Now just see if there will be any ARMv8 future Arndale board for it.
