The first news of Samsung's new processor chipset, which is the Exynos 1080We got them a while ago, around the middle of last month. At that time we realized that we were looking at a piece with overpowered for the upper-middle range, which is what this SoC is intended for.
In question, the performance of this processor was released, which was not to be despised. What AnTuTu showed in one of their listings was that the score the Exynos 1080 obtained It was even higher than what the Snapdragon 865 has marked since it was launched at the end of last year as Qualcomm's most powerful chipset, this being one aimed at high-ranking flagship mobiles. Now we know all the characteristics and technical specifications of the new Samsung part, and we will talk about this in depth below.
Features and technical specifications of the Samsung Exynos 1080
The Exynos 1080 is an eight-core chipset that has a triple-cluster architecture, which is this: 1 + 3 + 4. This is composed of a single-core Cortex A78 processor that operates at a clock frequency of 2.84 GHz, a Cortex-A78 triple-core processor running at 2.6 GHz and a Cortex-A55 quad-core processor running at 2.0 GHz.
It is worth mentioning that the first mentioned, like the second, is the one that is dedicated to the heaviest tasks and usually acts when there are applications and games that require a lot of resources, while the last one works in moments of little activity and helps to energy efficiency is better, by being supportive of the battery life of the smartphone.
The SoC includes a Mali-G78 MP10 graphics processor (GPU) and it comes with support for memory cards of type LPDDR4x and LPDDR5, the most advanced for mobiles to date, and a storage system of type UFS 3.1, the most advanced and fast too. When it comes to performance, the Exynos 1080 was recently seen on AnTuTu with a score of around 693.000, something we already discussed at the beginning.
The Exynos 1080 also hits the market with Dual modem that enables connectivity with NSA and SA networks to access commercial 5G that currently continues to expand at a rapid pace in the world, but is currently offered in cities and specific areas. The modem supports 5G sub-6GHz and mmWave spectra, the most widely used standards. It also supports other connectivity features such as Wi-Fi 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, GLONASS, BeiDuo and Galileo, among others.
Phones powered by the Exynos 1080 can have a WQHD + resolution screen with a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz or a FullHD + resolution screen with a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, so we will surely see it in a terminal for games, given its power and the latter mentioned, which is vital in gaming mobiles.
The mobile platform, on the other hand, supports a single camera up to 200 megapixels, a 32 megapixel + 32 megapixel dual camera setup or a maximum of 6 cameras, but with lower resolution sensors, of course. The SoC also supports HDR10 + and 4K 60fps (frames per second) encoding and decoding with HEVC.
Given the result that this piece marked in AnTuTu and we already mentioned, the Exynos 1080 is superior to the new Kirin 9000 chipset that we can find in the Huawei Mate 40. This is really a feat, as the latter is a 5nm processor aimed at the high-end, while Samsung's we will find it aimed at the upper-mid-range.
It remains to be seen if the Snapdragon 875 outperforms it, which is what we are betting on with great confidence. We will be checking this soon, as Qualcomm would be launching it in a few weeks, in December, at which time we will meet it and get all its details.
Finally, the Vivo X60 and X60 Pro will be the first smartphones to equip the Exynos 1080, but we do not know when these phones will be launched, but it will be soon.
