Samsung Launches Premium Exynos 9 Series Processor Built on the World's First 10nm FinFET Process Technology
Samsung (News - Alert) Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor
technology, today announced the launch of its latest premium application
processor (AP), the Exynos 9 Series 8895. This is Samsung's first
processor chipset to take advantage of the most advanced and industry
leading 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process technology with improved 3D
transistor structure, which allows up to 27% higher performance while
consuming 40% less power when compared to 14nm technology.
The new Exynos 9 Series 8895 is the first processor of its kind to embed
a gigabit LTE (News - Alert) modem that supports five carrier aggregation, or 5CA. It
delivers fast and stable data throughput at max.1Gbps (Cat.16) downlink
with 5CA and 150Mbps (Cat.13) uplink with 2CA.
The Exynos 8895 is an octa-core processor, comprising of four of
Samsung's 2nd generation custom designed CPU cores for
improved performance and power efficiency in addition to four
Cortex®-A53 cores. With Samsung Coherent Interconnect (SCI) technology,
the latest processor integrates a heterogeneous system architecture that
allows faster computing for a wide range of applications such as
artificial intelligence, and deep learning.
The Exynos 8895 also delivers unsurpassed multimedia experience with its
powerful GPU and multi-format codec (MFC) as well as next level 3D
graphic performance that minimizes latency for 4K UHD VR and gaming
experience with ARM (News - Alert)®'s latest Mali™-G71 GPU.
In addition, with its advanced MC, the processor supports video
recording and playback at a maximum resolution of 4K UHD at 120fps. It
also comes with video processing technology that enables a higher
quality experience by enhancing the image quality; for example, for VR
(Virtual Reality) applications, the Exynos 8895 delivers a realistic and
immersive VR video experience at 4K resolution.
The Exynos 8895 has a separate processing unit for enhanced security
solutions required for mobile payments that use iris or fingerprint
recognition as well as an embedded Vision Processing Unit (VPU) that can
recognize and analyze items or movements for improved video tracking,
panoramic image processing, and machine vision technology.
"In addition to being built on the most advanced 10nm FinFET process
technology, the new Exynos 9 Series 8895 incorporates Samsung's
cutting-edge technologies including a 2nd generation custom
CPU, gigabit LTE modem, and more," said Ben Hur, Vice President of
System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics. "With industry leading
technologies like VPU, the Exynos 8895 will drive the innovation of next
generation smartphones, VR headsets, and automotive infotainment system."
The Exynos 9 Series 8895 is currently in mass production.
