Samsung announces detailed parameters of Exynos 1280 processor
Samsung has a rich mobile phone product line. In addition to the Galaxy S flagship series, there are also mid-end product lines such as the A series and M series. Too many products sometimes make it too late for them to announce detailed configuration information, such as the Exynos 1280 chip in mid-range phones such as the Galaxy A33, Galaxy A53, and Galaxy M33 that they previously released. Samsung has not announced the detailed configuration information of this processor.
Until recently, Samsung officially released the Exynos 1280 processor, which is a 5G processor. From the official introduction page, we can know that this chip uses Samsung’s 5nm EUV process. It adopts an eight-core architecture, which is composed of 2 Cortex-A78 large cores + 6 Cortex-A55 performance cores. The Cortex-A78 clock is 2.4GHz, the Cortex-A55 clock is 2.0GHz, and the GPU used is Mali-G68.
In other respects, the built-in baseband of the Samsung Exynos 1280 processor supports both mmWave 5G (millimeter wave) and Sub 6GHz frequency bands. It supports screens with FHD resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, Bluetooth 5.2 and LPDDR4X memory, and UFS 2.2 flash memory. In addition, the processor also supports 4K 30P video recording, 100 million pixels, and other image configurations.
Judging from the above configuration, Samsung Exynos 1280 is positioned as a mid-to-low-end chip. Compared with the flagship processors on the market (supporting LPDDR5 memory, UFS 3.1 flash memory, WiFi6, four large cores, etc.), the Samsung Exynos 1280 is indeed weaker.
