Samsung launches first Exynos chip with all radios built in
The chip can also handle signal processing for up to 8-megapixel front and 13-megapixel back cameras, Full HD video, and a WXGA screen (1,366 x 768 resolution).Samsung was able to pack all that in by using 14-nanometer manufacturing for the first time on a budget chip.So far, that's been reserved for its higher-end processors, including the top-of-the-line Exynos 8890.Though the latest chip isn't that interesting, performance-wise, it may have a ripple effect on the high-end market.
Samsung Mass Produces 14-Nanometer Exynos Processor with Full Connectivity Integration – Samsung Newsroom
Press Resources > Press ReleaseSamsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today announced that it has begun mass production of Exynos 7 Quad 7570, the company's newest mobile application processor (AP) built on 14-nanometer (nm) process technology for the budget smartphone market as well as other IoT devices.Being the first mobile AP in its class designed with the advanced process node, Exynos 7570 is also the first Exynos processor to fully integrate a Cat.4 LTE 2CA modem and connectivity solutions including WiFi, Bluetooth, frequency modulation (FM) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in one chip."With Exynos 7570, more consumers will be able to experience the performance benefits of the advanced 14nm FinFET process in affordable devices," said Ben K. Hur, Vice President of System LSI Marketing at Samsung Electronics."By successfully integrating various connectivity solutions, Samsung is strengthening its competitiveness in the single chip market"Last year, Samsung was the first in the industry to adopt advanced 14nm FinFET technology for its premium processors and has since expanded the adoption to other segments, bringing premium features to more affordable smart devices.
Samsung announces Exynos 7570, a budget SoC with 14nm process and integrated WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS
Samsung announced a major upgrade to their budget SoC offering today, which will go by the name Exynos 7570.It will be the first of its kind—targeted to IoT devices and lower market smartphones—to be built on the power efficient 14nm FinFET process.Also noteworthy is that this new model will have built-in connectivity hardware for WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS rather than relying on third-party vendors to provide those components for end user devices.This SoC won't be making an appearance in your Galaxy S8 next year, but is suited to the cheapest cell phones and most appropriately the connected devices that don't need so much processing and video rendering capacity.
