Η Samsung, faithful to its appointment today, November 14, has officially revealed the next chapter in its Exynos processors, with the Exynos 9820 being integrated in the company's flagships in 2019.
The CPU structure includes two custom cores + 2x Cortex-A5 cores + 4x Cortex-A55 cores. It supports WQUXGA (3840 x 2400) and 4K UHD (4096 x 2160) resolution screens, 22MP camera or 16MP + 16MP dual camera on the back and selfie at 22MP. The integrated graphics processor Mali-G76 GPU brings 40% higher performance, while the LTE-A Pro modem supports speeds of 2Gbps.
For the record, Huawei was the first to introduce an NPU chip to its phones with the P20 Pro, while the Mate 20 Pro improved dual NPU artificial intelligence processing on the Kirin 980 based on the 7nm architecture. Samsung is now entering the dance of artificial intelligence, announcing the Exynos 9820, a chip made at 8nm and not at 7nm as other manufacturers did, which has a fourth generation CPU and LTE modem that offers speeds up to 2Gbps. The chip's appeal, however, is the Neural Process Unit (NPU) which will offer the Galaxy S10 a variety of AI features.
The NPU will offer a sevenfold increase in the performance of AI-related processes, such as on-camera scene detection. In general performance, Samsung claims that compared to the 9810 of the S9 / Note9 we will see a 20% increase in single-core processes, 15% in multi-core and 40% higher efficiency. In terms of graphics, the Mali-G76 promises 40% better performance compared to the 72 Mali-G9810.
Finally, the Exynos 9820 will bring improvements in the autonomy of the devices and the camera. 4K video recording can now be done at 150fps and 10-bit, while there will be the ability to record 8K video at 30fps.
