Samsung has announced the launch of Exynos 7 Octa core chip. The second mobile SoC from the company features four Cortex-A57 cores for handling heavy-duty processing and four lower-power Cortex-A53 cores for increased energy efficiency when tackling light loads.
Samsung says that the Exynos 7 comes with A53 and A57 cores as it employs e big.LITTLE architecture. The company claims that the Exynos 7 offers 57% performance improvement over the previous generation while using lesser power thanks to its 20nm manufacturing process
There is an ARM Mali-T760 GPU for graphics that Samsungs says adds upto 74 percent improvement over the T628MP6 GPU found in the Exynos 5 Octa. It enables the use of 2560 x 1440 and 2560 x 1600 displays, and can also support simultaneous photo and video capture at 16 megapixels and 5 megapixels for the rear and front cameras, respectively (both at 30 frames per second).
The Exynos 7 Octa also features an inbuilt LTE modem. It is suggested that Exynos 7 Octa is a rebranded version of Exynos 5433, which already features Korean version of the Galaxy Note 4. Unfortunately, Samsung has not offered details about the clock speeds of the chip however, we will get more information next year as the company will use the Exynos 7 Octa in its flagship products.
