Today, Samsung finally released the Exynos 1080 chipset. As the company stated, the Exynos 1080 chipset is a significant upgrade over its predecessor.
The Exynos 1080 is an eight-core chipset based on the 5nm EUV process. It consists of four Cortex-A78 performance cores and four Cortex-A55 energy-efficient cores.
Some key specifications of this chipset are as follows:
- Cores: 1x Cortex-A78 core (2.8 GHz), 3x Cortex-A78 cores (2.6 GHz), 4x Cortex-A55 cores (2.0 GHz)
- GPU: Mali-G78 MP10 (2.3 times more powerful than predecessor)
- Modem: 5G NR Sub-6GHz 5.1 Gbps (DL) / 1.28 Gbps (UL)
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi (802.11ax), FM Radio
- GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo
- Camera: Single-camera Up to 200MP, Dual-camera 32MP + 32MP
- Video: 4K 60fps encoding and decoding with HEVC(H.265)/H.264/VP8/VP9
- Display: WQHD+ 90Hz Refresh Rate, FHD+ 144Hz Refresh Rate
- Storage: UFS 3.1
- RAM/Memory: LPDDR5, LPDDR4x
According to the chipset specifications, it may beat flagship chipsets from other companies, such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 and the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+. This chipset has already defeated the Snapdragon 865 in AnTuTu benchmark tests.
According to the company, the chipset’s single-core performance has increased by 50%, while its multi-core performance has doubled. In addition, Vivo will be the first brand to use this chipset in its smartphones. The chipset is likely to be featured in the upcoming vivo X60 series.
The Exynos 980 is built using a 7nm process, but Samsung is using a 5nm process this time. At present, we cannot predict the actual performance of this chipset in smartphones.
