Samsung unveils the new Exynos 1580 processor with improved performance and enhanced graphics card.
Samsung has officially announced the launch of its new processor, the Exynos 1580, targeting the mid-range segment, which is based on a 4-nanometer manufacturing technology. This processor comes with significant performance improvements compared to the previous version, featuring advanced Cortex-A720 cores along with a notable upgrade in the graphics processing unit.
The Exynos 1580 is based on the third generation of Samsung’s EUV FinFET architecture, with an ARMv9 manufacturing node. The processor features a main Cortex-A720 core clocked at 2.9GHz, along with 3 other cores of the same structure clocked at 2.6GHz, and 4 Cortex-A520 cores clocked at 1.95GHz. These new configurations represent a significant leap in performance, especially compared to the previous Exynos 1480 processor.
One of the key improvements in the new processor is the inclusion of an AMD GPU with RDNA 3 architecture, achieving a 37% higher performance compared to the previous version. It also features a 20% improvement in power consumption while maintaining the efficiency of the previous chipset. The GL2 cache in the GPU has also seen significant improvements.
The Exynos 1580 integrates a new Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with performance of up to 14.7 trillion operations per second (TOPS), along with an increase in cache memory to 2 megabytes, enhancing the AI capabilities of the processor.
The new processor supports the latest memory technologies such as LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 storage capacities. Additionally, it provides comprehensive support for 5G networks with sub-6GHz and mmWave bands, as well as support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 technology.
The new chip enables the operation of displays with a resolution of 1080 pixels plus a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, as well as support for cameras with a resolution of up to 200 megapixels or two cameras with 32 megapixels resolution with 4K video recording at 60 frames per second.
The Exynos 1580 processor is expected to debut in the Galaxy A56 phone, which Samsung plans to launch early next year. The performance of this processor will be a key highlight of the upcoming phone, with more details expected on the actual performance of the new processor.
