The Exynos 9 will likely be used in the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ in most markets like India, while some markets like the U.S. will probably use the Snapdragon 835 SoC. The Exynos 9 will likely use the 10nm FinFET process (10LPE). The company started mass production of System-on-Chip (SoC) based on the technology last October.
We still don’t have any specifications of the Exynos 9, but the processor is expected to use a Mali-G71 GPU offering Vulkan API from Khronos as well as support for smooth mobile VR experience.
