Samsung Unveils New 5nm based Exynos Chips

Two new chipsets from Samsung have just been released for its mobile devices. The new SoCs, which have the names Exynos 1380 and Exynos 1330 and significant performance enhancements, are designed for mid-range smartphones.

Exynos 1380

Now, let’s discuss the more expensive model. A 5nm-based processor, Samsung’s Exynos 1380 SoC has 4 ARM Cortex A78 cores working at 2.4GHz and 4 ARM Cortex A55 cores operating at 2GHz. This chipset can support devices with Full HD+ screens and up to 144Hz refresh rate and also includes the Mali G68 GPU. The new chip is compatible with UFS 3.1 storage as well as LPDDR4x or even LPDDR5 Memory.

Moreover, it has a 4.9 trillion operation per second NPU. In the Triple ISP included in the Exynos 1380 SoC, up to 200 MP cameras with 64 MP resolution and 0% shutter lag are supported. For better camera performance, the processor also offers 4K recording at 30 frames per second with EIS, HDR, and support for real-time object identification.

It is noteworthy that the CPU supports mmWave and sub 6GHz networks with peak download rates of 3.67Gbps and 1.28Gbps. Strangely, a number of leaks and certifications have suggested that the Galaxy A54 5G will contain this chipset.

Exynos 1330

Another latest 5nm chipset, the Exynos 1330 is more suited to entry-level handsets. It has the Mali G68 MP2 GPU, 6 Cortex A55 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz, and two Cortex A78 CPU cores operating at 2.4GHz. The full HD screen is also supported by this processor, although it only supports 120 Hz refresh rates.

LPDDR4X and LPDDR5 RAM chips, as well as UFS 3.1 and even UFS 2.2 storage, are still compatible with it. The ISP of the Exynos 1330 supports cameras with a maximum resolution of 108 megapixels and a shutter latency of “0” for 32 MP photos. With no shutter latency, it’s able to support a pair of 16 MP cameras.

The Multi-Format Codec can also record videos in the H.264, HEVC, and VP8 codecs at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second. The first entry-level processors from Samsung include a built-in 5G modem that can support 5G networks operating at sub-6GHz. This allows it to reach download rates of 2.55Gbps and upload speeds of 1.28Gbps. The Galaxy A14 5G will probably be the first model to use this chipset, according to recent speculations and sightings on certification sites.
