Samsung’s Exynos 1080 chipset will power mid-range and high-end 5G smartphones. It can deliver downlink speeds of up to 5.1 Gbps at NR Sub-6GHz networks. The chipset integrates Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for on-device AI. Notably, the NPU can offer up to 5.7 TOPs (trillion operations per second), giving a big boost in the AI processing.
The octa-core Exynos 1080 SoC is among the first chipsets to get ARM’s new Cortex-A78 powerful cores. The 8 core setup includes one 2.8GHz Cortex-A78 core for faster mobile computing, three 2.6GHz Cortex-A78 cores, and four 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores. The chipset claims to offer “artistic graphics” using the Mali-G78 GPU.
Exynos 1080 supports camera resolution up to 200MP and a total of 6 individual camera sensors and can record HDR10+ video recording in 4K UHD. The chipset supports HDR10+ and a high refresh rate of up to 144Hz at Full HD+ resolution. According to Samsung, this new chipset brings 50% improvement in the single-core than as compared to its predecessors. The first smartphone to feature Exynos 1080 is still a mystery. However, the Vivo X60 series is expected to be the first one.
