New competition will soon emerge for the Snapdragon 865, Qualcomm’s most powerful chipset today. This will come from the hand of Samsung and will be the Exynos 992, the rival that would surpass the aforementioned SD865 and would rival the Snapdragon 865 Plus, a processor that is likely to hit the market later this year.
The post-production stage of the Exynos 992 recently ended, and according to a new report that has originated in South Korea and is closely tied to internal sources from the manufacturer, August is the month that the chipset will begin to mass-produce.
The Exynos 992 would be the processor of the Galaxy Note 20
The new Exynos 992 chipset will feature Cortex-A78 cores, which represent a significant improvement over the Cortex-A77, which is what we found in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865. In question, it will offer superior performance, compared to its predecessors; This would have a huge impact on the user experience, without a doubt.
The GPU that the Exynos 992 will use will be the Mali G78, which will succeed the Mali G77 as the most powerful. The company claims that it is 25% more efficient in running games and multimedia content with high demands.
Another important advance that comes with this SoC is the node size of 5 nm, which represents greater efficiency in terms of energy consumption and final performance, compared to the other less effective construction processes that exist today. It is worth noting that currently, the smallest node size is 7 nm, which is what we find in the aforementioned Snapdragon 865 and Exynos 990.
The Galaxy Note 20 series will be the first to equip the Exynos 992, like the Galaxy Fold 2, the terminal that will succeed it. The South Korean company has not yet confirmed this, but it is something that we can be practically sure of.
