Samsung Launches a New Mid-range Chipset, Consumes Less Power
BENGALURU: Samsung has announced that the company has rolled out its new mid-range chipset, Exynos 7 Octa 7870, which will soon replace the current mid-range—Exynos 7580.
Crafted on the 14nm FinFET process technology, the new chipset made by Samsung consumes over thirty percent less power than mobile SoCs designed with 28nm High-k Metal Gate process technology without any decrement in the performance level. It also delivers eight 1.6GHz Cortex-A53 cores and LTE Cat.6 2CA Modem, which supports 300Mbps downlink speed and FDD-TDD joint carrier aggregation as well. In addition, the processor supports 1080p 60fps video playback and WUXGA (1920 X 1200) display resolution; and the image signal processor (ISP) provides high resolution images of 8MP each in dual camera mode.
“With increased performance and power efficiency, we anticipate widespread adoption of our new Exynos 7 Octa 7870 into mid-tier mobile devices. Consumers will experience enhanced performance as this is the first time a mobile application processor built on advanced 14nm process is available for these types of smart mobile devices,” states Ben K. Hur, VP of System LSI marketing, Samsung Electronics, reports Robin Sinha for NDTV Gadgets360.com
Speculating about the future, Samsung is hopeful that the new chipset will find its place in more smartphones. According to Samsung Tomorrow, the company expects to provide mobile manufacturers an ideal mobile System-on-Chip (SoC) option for mid-range smartphones with leading-edge performance and power efficiency, and area scaling benefits.
