The Exynos W920 gives excessive efficiency, effectivity and LTE connectivity
packed within the trade’s smallest kind issue
Samsung Electronics, a world chief in superior semiconductor know-how, right this moment introduced its new wearable processor, the Exynos W920. The new processor integrates an LTE modem and is the primary within the trade to be constructed with a complicated 5-nanometer (nm) excessive ultra-violet (EUV) course of node, providing highly effective but environment friendly efficiency demanded by next-generation wearable units.
“Wearables like smartwatches are no longer just a cool gadget to have. They’re now a growing part of our lifestyles to keep you fit, safe and alert,” stated Harry Cho, vice chairman of System LSI advertising and marketing at Samsung Electronics. “With the Exynos W920, future wearables will be able to run applications with visually appealing user interfaces and more responsive user experiences while keeping you connected on the go with fast LTE.”
The Exynos W920 packs two Arm® Cortex®-A55 cores for high-performing but power-efficient processing and an Arm Mali™-G68 GPU that boasts improved CPU efficiency round 20-percent and ten occasions higher graphics efficiency than its predecessor. With upgraded cores and improved efficiency, the Exynos W920 allows quicker utility launches and extra interactive eye-catching 3D graphical consumer interface (GUI) on a tool’s qHD (960×540) show.
Even with the newest options and enhancements, the Exynos W920 comes within the smallest package deal at present obtainable available in the market for wearables with Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging (FO-PLP). The know-how incorporates the Exynos W920, energy administration IC (PMIC), LPDDR4 and embedded multimedia card (eMMC) in the identical package deal utilizing System-in-Package-embedded Package on Package (SiP-ePoP) configuration. The processor’s compact dimension permits smartwatches to deal with bigger batteries or don sleeker designs.
Always-on-display (AOD) for wearables, particularly for smartwatches, is a extensively adopted function because it makes it easy to take a fast have a look at the time, notifications, missed calls and extra with out the necessity to wake the watch up from sleep mode. Rather than powering up the principle CPU, the W920 prompts a devoted low-power show processor, the Cortex-M55, lowering show energy consumption beneath AOD mode in comparison with its earlier Exynos mannequin.
For seamless linked experiences on the go, the Exynos W920 is embedded with a 4G LTE Cat.four modem in addition to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) L1 for monitoring pace, distance and elevation throughout out of doors actions.
The Exynos W920 helps a brand new unified wearable platform Samsung constructed collectively with Google, and will probably be first utilized to the upcoming Galaxy Watch mannequin.
