Samsung Exynos 1280 SoC With 5G and AI Capabilities Launched Officially 1h1u4n

Samsung Exynos 1280 SoC is now official. The chipset, which powers multiple Samsung smartphones such as Galaxy A53 and Galaxy M33, is marketed as a mobile platform that provides 5G connectivity as well as on-device AI to mid-range handsets. Additionally, the South Korean company says that the SoC offers efficient computing and great graphics performance. It gets a total of eight cores: two Arm Cortex-A78 cores, and six Cortex-A55 cores. The processor s maximum camera sensor resolution of up to 108-megapixel, and full-HD+ display resolution with up to 120Hz refresh rate.

As per a Samsung, the Exynos 1280 SoC has an octa-core U wherein there are two Arm Cortex-A78 cores that run at up to 2.4GHz, and six power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores that run at up to 2.0GHz. When it comes to graphics, the mobile platform gets Valhall-based Arm Mali-G68 GPU that “has been optimised with Fused Multiply-Add (FMA)” for power-efficient gaming. The chipset is manufactured using the 5nm EUV process, and offers for full-HD+ display resolution with up to 120Hz refresh rate.

Samsung Exynos 1280 SoC's neural processing unit (NPU) offers “seamless on-device AI”, and is said to be capable of running up to 4.3 trillion operations per second (TOPS). Samsung says that the chipset is capable of undertaking high-quality AI functions like scene segmentation, real-time motion analysis, multi-object surveillance, among others.

Coming to cameras, the Exynos 1280 SoC is said to offer for up to 108-megapixel sensor. As per Samsung, the advanced image signal processor (ISP) allows the chipset to connect up to three input streams simultaneously to provide for up to 16-megapixel triple camera setup. The processor also s multi-frame image processing, electronic image stabilization (EIS) for enhanced image quality. As far as video is concerned, the chipset s 4K video recording 30fps.

Lastly, the Exynos 1280 comes with a built-in modem to offer connectivity options to both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G along with 2G GSM/CDMA, 3G WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, HSPA and 4G LTE. Samsung says that in n sub-6GHz, the chipset s downlink and uplink speeds of up to 2.55Gbps and 1.28Gbps, respectively. It also offers for dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac MIMO, Bluetooth v5.2, and FM Radio Rx.
