Samsung Exynos 992 5nm chips to Commence mass production from August

Samsung recently completed the post production for its upcoming 5nm chipset, Exynos 992. And now, reports from South Korea reveal that the mass production of the new 5G processor begins in August 2020 and will feature ARM’s latest Cortex-A78 cores and Mali G78 GPU.

The new cores and GPU technology is said to be more powerful and efficient than the previous generation’s Cortex-A77 cores and Mali-G77 GPU. ARM claimed that the new core generation will be 20 percent more energy efficient than its predecessors with a 25 percent bump in GPU performance as well. Unlike the Exynos 990, the Exynos 992 SoC is said to bring major upgrades over just minor improvements.

A notable improvement is the shift to the new 5nm fabrication process, which will be the company’s first. In comparison, Qualcomm’s current flagship mobile processor, the Snapdragon 865, uses a custom version of the ARM Cortex-A77 cores and Cortex-A55 for low power tasks. So we can expect the Exynos 992 SoC to rival the Snapdragon 865 Plus, which may launch later this year.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 series may be the first handset to feature the Exynos 992 processor. In a financial report, the South Korean tech giant confirmed the launch of upcoming smartphones including the Galaxy Note 20. Although, the official announcement is still a while away, so stay tuned more updates.
