Samsung released its latest Exynos 9820 chipset for smartphones. It is based on the 8 nm LPP (Low Power Plus) FinFET process and is an evolution from the 10 nm Exynos 9810. The Exynos 9820 SoC came with 2 Gbps LTE modem, Tri-cluster CPU and improved NPU. Samsung implemented 4th-gen CPU with two custom cores for ultimate processing power, two Cortex-A75 cores for performance and a third cluster of four Cortex-A55 units for efficiency. The company said the new configuration has intelligent task scheduler to boost multi-core performance by 15% from the previous Exynos. The single-core results would be up to 20% and provide 40% power efficiency. The LTE-Advanced Pro modem is another step towards 5G chipsets with 2 Gbps downlink speeds, but the company deterred from using the next-gen term in its press release. Technical specs included 8x CA and 316 Mbps uplink. Like its predecessor, the Exynos 9820 relies on 4x4 MIMO, 256-QMA and eLAA technology for “blazing speeds.” On the G...
