Samsung is in excess of with significant mobile phone bulletins for the 12 months, so that indicates it is time to welcome the chipset that will power the following-calendar year flagships. The Korean business has just introduced the Exynos 990. It brings a new GPU, assist for 120Hz screens and a significant functionality increase.
It is made on the 7nm EUV course of action and will be 20% more quickly and a lot more energy-effective than its predecessors Exynos 9820 and Exynos 9825. Samsung also launched a new modem for the 990 – the 5G-enabled Exynos Modem 5123.

Samsung commonly did not expose the clock speeds of its CPU clusters, but people will most likely count on the unique implementation. We know there are two effective tailor made cores, two high-efficiency Cortex A76 models and a energy-productive quad cluster of Cortex-A55 cores. The Exynos 990 retains its dual-main NPU, but the DSP is enhanced – Samsung suggests it can conduct about 10-trillion functions per 2nd.
For extra efficiency and protection, the NPU now allows localized AI, this means it will method details on the system, in its place of relying on a network and a server. This should really make facial recognition and scene detection speedier.
The Exynos Modem 5123 is 1 of the initial 5G modem chips, created on the 7nm EUV method. Samsung guarantees it will support almost all networks and can attain up to 3 Gbps downlink in LTE networks. In 5G, it supports up to 8CA and should deliver a maximum DL velocity of up to 5.1 Gbps in sub-6 GHz and 7.35 Gbps in mmWave.
The Exynos 990 can support memory bandwidth with LPDDR5 details costs, displays with a 120 Hz refresh amount and a smartphone with a digicam with up to 108 MP resolution. Mass generation of the 990 chipset and the 5123 modem ought to begin by the finish of this 12 months – right in time for the Samsung Galaxy S11.
