The Cortex-A78 CPU comes with a 20% performance gain over the Cortex-A77 used in Exynos 980 along with greater on-device Machine Learning (ML) performance and the Mali-G78 GPU offers 25% improvement and a 15% performance density improvement for gaming content compared to Mali-G77 GPU. AnTuTu listing that surfaced recently revealed 693,600 points better than the latest Snapdragon 865+ SoC.
It is expected to be the first Samsung chip to use 5nm manufacturing process technology compared to 8nm process in Exynos 980 and 7nm process in Exynos 990. Apple’s A14 Bionic and HUAWEI’s Kirin 9000 SoCs already use 5nm process. The Exynos 980 powers Galaxy A51 5G and A71 5G, so the Exynos 1080 could power mid-range A series phones in 2021.
