After Samsung confirmed the existence of the Exynos 1080 chip last month and they have been hitting the airwaves in the meantime informace about some of its specs and performance, has now officially launched it. It is its first chip manufactured using the 5nm process, it ranks among the middle class in terms of performance, and it will make its debut at the end of next year in a Vivo brand smartphone.
The Exynos 1080 got four powerful ARM Cortex-A78 processor cores, one of which runs at a frequency of 2,8 GHz and the others at 2,6 GHz, and four economical Cortex-A55 cores with a clock speed of 2 GHz. According to Samsung, the single-core performance is 50% higher than the previous generation processors, while the multi-core performance should have doubled.

Graphics operations are handled by the Mali-G78 MP10 GPU, which should offer similar performance to the Exynos 990 chipset used by the smartphone Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The graphics chip also supports displays with FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz or screens with QHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz.
The chipset also features a power saving solution called Amigo, which monitors the power load and can increase power savings by up to 10% accordingly. The image processor supports up to 200 MPx cameras (or 32 and 32 MPx at the same time) and video recording in up to 4K resolution at 60 fps and HDR10+.
The built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) can achieve up to 5,7 TOPS performance, according to Samsung. The chipset also supports LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 storage, and has a built-in 5G modem that supports sub-6 GHz (3,67 GB/s) and millimeter-wave (mmWave; 5,1 GB/s) networks. There is also support for dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 wireless standard and GPS.
The Exynos 1080 will appear in the first device early next year. However, surprisingly for some, it will not be a Samsung smartphone, but an unspecified new flagship from Vivo (unofficial informace from the last few weeks talking about the Vivo X60 series).
