Galaxy S7 chip will bring 30 percent more power

Samsung has the new chip Exynos Octa 8 presented on Thursday, which will probably perform his duties in the Galaxy S7. The Koreans promise markedly better performance, while improved energy efficiency.

Samsung's new system on a chip (SoC) Exynos 8890 is designed to provide 7 8 Octa Octa 30 percent more performance compared to the previous Exynos. That explained the Korean company on Thursday at the presentation of the new component. At the same time the chip is ten percent more energy efficient than the work Exynos 7. The Exynos Octa 8 is expected to be installed in Samsung Galaxy S7, confirmed but that is not natural.

Galaxy S7-Chip: 4K resolution and LTE Cat. 13
The Exynos Octa 8 is the first chip in the Samsung has designed the cores themselves, based on a 64-bit architecture. The device integrates four of these special cores with four other ARM Cortex-A53 cores. Also an LTE modem can be found in the Exynos Octa 8 that the standards LTE Cat. 12 and LTE Cat. 13 supports. Thus download speeds of up to 600 Megabits per second and upload of up to 150 megabits per second are possible. Finally found the Exynos Octa 8 nor the latest graphics processor Mali-T880 from ARM, the 4K UHD resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 pixels and supports WQUXGA-resolutions up to 3840 x 2400 pixels. Even with the relase of the Galaxy S7 should therefore continue the pixel-arms race.

The Exynos Octa 8 is also for the chip business from Samsung is of great importance. The mass production of its own tailor-made chips and cores should strengthen the company's position against Apple and Qualcomm, which currently dominate the market. Particularly in periods of declining smartphone sales which could be an important mainstay for Samsung.
