Time for a moment of honesty, gerbils. Is there room in your life to discuss more than one upcoming processor? Yes? Good. Samsung just announced the latest version of its Exynos SoC , and it’s primed to appear in a variety of devices in the coming year.
The Exynos 9 Series (8895) SoC is built on what Samsung claims is the world’s first 10-nm FinFET process. The company says the new process node lets the Exynos 9 perform 27% faster with 40% lower power consumption than the previous 14-nm offerings. The Exynos 8895 contains an octa-core processor comprising four of Samsung’s custom cores and four ARM-designed Cortex-A53 cores. The LTE modem present in the previous-generation Exynos 8890 got upgraded to an LTE-Advanced unit capable of 1Gbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink speeds.
