Samsung earlier announced details of the new Exynos 55 processor, which was recently used in the mid-range mobile phone Galaxy A5 1480G. It also revealed that it uses the Xclipse 530 GPU in the display design, making it the first mid-range computing platform built in cooperation with AMD's RDNA architecture.
The Exynos 1480 is produced using Samsung's 4nm process and adopts an Arm Cortex-A4 CPU with a quad-core and 2.75GHz operating clock design, paired with a Cortex-A78 CPU with the same quad-core and 4GHz operating clock design, forming a "2.0+55" computing core. It also uses the Xclipse 4 GPU designed with AMD's RDNA architecture, supporting variable display rate, super resolution and other technologies, and the display performance is improved by approximately 4% compared to previous products.
In terms of hardware specifications, the Exynos 1480 supports Full HD+ resolution, 144Hz refresh rate display output, LPDDR4x or LPDDR5 memory, and UFS 3.1 storage. Regarding camera specifications, it supports single-lens resolutions of up to 2 million pixels, with zero-delay shutter function when using a 6400-megapixel lens. Dual-lens combinations can support up to 3200 million pixels and 3200 million pixels.
As for the networking function, it corresponds to the sub-6GHz frequency band and the millimeter wave frequency band. The download speed through the sub-6GHz frequency band can reach up to 5.1Gbps, and the upload speed can reach up to 1.28Gbps. The download speed of the millimeter wave band can reach up to 4.84Gbps, and the upload speed can reach up to 0.92Gbps. It also supports Wi-Fi 6E wireless connection specifications and is equipped with Bluetooth 5.3 specifications.
In addition to using it in the Galaxy A55, Samsung expects to use this processor in more mobile phone products, and even plans to cooperate with more mobile phone brands to enable this processor to be used in more products.
