Samsung unveiled its latest in-house Exynos 1580 SoC, a mid-range chip for the coming Galaxy A56. Let’s take a closer look at the chip’s specifications.
Ritually, the Korean tech brand, Samsung, debuts a new mid-range Exynos chip dedicatedly built to power the Galaxy A series. Finally, is just introduced this year’s chipset named Exynos 1580 SoC. Noticeably, it’s not quite as impressive as the Snapdragon solution revealed recently, but it was never meant to be.
The company didn’t emphasize its latest Exynos 1580 much; somewhere, it seems like a good decision. Samsung revealed the Exynos 1580 specifications with the tagline “Super smooth. Extremely efficient.”
The newly launched Exynos 1580 is based on a 4nm EUV FinFET process. It features three cluster CPUs: 1 x Cortex-A720 core at 2.9GHz, 3 x A720 cores at 2.6GHz, 4 x A520 cores at 1.95GHz, and an Xclipse 540 GPU. The chipset has LPDDR5 memory support. It can also support FHD+ display 144Hz, a 200MP camera, 4K 60fps video encoding/decoding, and Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and 5G.
The company claims that the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) can perform up to 14.7 trillion operations per second with a memory capacity increased to 2 MB. The chipset features a new Xclipse 540 GPU with enhanced performance.
The Exynos 1580 delivers a 37% performance boost over its predecessor and upgraded TNR performance for better video recording and photography. The chipset is highly anticipated to debut with the forthcoming Galaxy A56 smartphone sometime in early 2025.
Even though the Exynos 2500 for premium devices might be in trouble in light of the bonkers Snapdragon 8 Elite reveal, things are going relatively well and according to plan for the mid-range lineup.
