Samsung today unveiled the Exynos 9820. Its the company's adjacent flagship processor which supports on-device artificial intelligence processing. As reports had suggested, it comes with a separate neural processing unit which will handle all AI-related tasks independent of the main processor.

The company's latest flagship scrap features a fourth-generation custom processor. There's besides an LTE Advanced Pro modem capable of speeds of upward to 2Gbps. The neural processing unit volition allow for more powerful augmented reality and virtual reality experiences on the device.

Exynos 9820 features a defended AI fleck

The divide neural processing unit on the Exynos 9820 performs AI tasks nigh 7 times faster than its predecessor. It allows AI processing to be carried out on the device itself. There's thus no demand to send the task to a server. This not but results in improved performance but also ameliorate security of personal information. Information technology will enable new experiences such as instantly adjusting camera settings for a shot based on the surroundings.

Based on Samsung's 8nm LPP FinFET process, the CPU has 2 custom cores to do the heavy lifting. The two Cortex-A75 and four Cortex-A55 cores are for optimal functioning and greater efficiency, respectively. Samsung says that the Exynos 9820 delivers 20 percent in single core and 15 percent improvement in multi cadre functioning. There'southward also a 40 pct gain in ability efficiency. The graphics are handled by the Mali-G76 MP12 GPU. Equally a result, information technology delivers a twoscore percentage improvement in performance and 35 percent ability enhancement.

The image signal processor of Samsung's new flagship chip supports upwards to v sensors including an IR sensor. This will let for flexible multi-camera solutions. Information technology is capable of powering 16-megapixel dual camera setups and up to 22 megapixel front and rear cameras. At that place's even back up for decoding 8K videos at 30fps and 4K videos at 150fps.

Furthermore, the Exynos 9820 doesn't come with a 5G modem. This farther supports the belief that there's going to be a separate 5G variant of the Milky way S10 which may use a Qualcomm processor. The LTE Advanced Pro modem in the new chip tin hit speeds of 2.0Gbps downlink with 8x carrier aggregation and 316Mbps uplink. The chip supports the UFS iii.0 storage standard. It offers double the memory bandwidth over UFS 2.1.

Samsung says that the Exynos 9820 will enter mass production by the end of this year. If history is any indication, the Galaxy S10 will be the kickoff device to be powered past this processor.
