Samsung’s next-gen flagship Exynos processor could perform better as the company is switching from Mongoose CPU cores to stock ARM CPU cores. It is even ditching ARM’s Mali GPUs in favor of AMD’s Radeon graphics. In fact, Samsung seems to have even bigger plans for its Exynos chipsets in the future. Apparently, the company is developing a custom Exynos chipset in partnership with Google. According to a new report, the custom Exynos processor could be launched by Google as soon as this year.
According to the information, the chipset will be made using Samsung’s 5nm LPE process. The Exynos octa-core processor reportedly features two Cortex-A78 CPU cores, two Cortex-A76 CPU cores, and four Cortex-A55 CPU cores. The chipset could use ARM’s unannounced Mali MP20 GPU that is based on Borr (codename based on Norse mythology) microarchitecture. Google seems to have removed Samsung’s ISP and NPU to use its own Visual Core ISP and NPU.
