Samsung has secretly unveiled the Exynos 1580, the company’s newest mobile CPU and the replacement for the Exynos 1480. It is manufactured using a 4-nanometer technology and was created internally by Samsung Semiconductor. The octa-core chipset has a neural processing unit (NPU) with 14.7 TOPS of processing power, support for up to 200-megapixel cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) functions.
One of the expected smartphones that is anticipated to be powered by this processor is the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G.
Samsung Exynos 1580 Chipset Specifications
Samsung explained that the Exynos 1580 chipset has a new tri-cluster architecture and enhanced ARM v9 cores. It has four Cortex-A520 cores running at 1.95 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores capped at 2.6 GHz, and one primary Cortex-A720 core clocked at 2.9 GHz. The Exynos 1580 has compatibility for UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM. It has an enhanced memory capacity of 2MB and an NPU that can support up to 14.7 trillion operations per second (TOPS).
A third-generation proprietary GPU, the Samsung Xclipse 540, is combined with the chipset and is said to provide a maximum performance boost of up to 37%. Two Work Group Processors (WGPs), more GL2 cache, and twice as much texture unit processing are now available on the processor’s GPU.
LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage are supported by Samsung’s Exynos 1580. It has an enhanced memory capacity of 2MB and an NPU that can perform up to 14.7 trillion operations per second (TOPS).
Up to 200-megapixel cameras are supported by Samsung’s latest chipset. Thanks to a big Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) and a new motion refinement function, it is said to provide better Temporal Noise Reduction (TNR) performance. Samsung explained that these improvements will let users to record videos in low light conditions with reduced noise.
