Samsung this morning has dropped as temporary teaser about their next-generation Exynos SoC. Dubbed “Exynos is back”, Samsung is revealing that there will likely be a correct announcement for the brand new SoC on January 12, which might fall on the primary full day of CES.
Being that it is a teaser, any particulars are non-existent. But it’s value noting that Samsung is promising “A whole new Exynos is coming”. Which hopefully is an indication that Samsung has spent the final couple of years exhausting at work on bettering their future designs.
Although the latest high-end Exynos designs (e.g. Exynos 990) have been respectable, they’ve been overshadowed by rival Qualcomm’s designs – to not point out Apple’s personal market-leading elements. The previous couple of iterations of the chip have used Samsung’s personal in-house CPU core design, which by no means labored out fairly in addition to Samsung hoped for, each in total efficiency and in retaining forward of Arm’s personal licensable designs.
Fittingly, Samsung has beforehand confirmed that they’re going to be (again to) utilizing Arm’s cores in future designs, significantly the the Cortex-X1, Arm’s huge effort to double-down on total CPU efficiency. So it is just about assured that Cortex-X1 will present up in Samsung’s next-gen SoC – particularly in the event that they need to compete with Qualcomm’s X1-equipped next-gen Snapdragon.
In any case, we’ll have extra on the matter in just a few weeks, when Samsung makes their announcement. So keep tuned.
