Samsung Enables Premium Multimedia Features in High-End Smartphones With Exynos 7 Series 9610
Samsung (News - Alert) Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor
technology, today announced the availability of its latest application
processor (AP), the Exynos 7 Series 9610. The Exynos 9610, built on
Samsung's 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process, elevates the multimedia
experience in high-end smartphones with premium-level features such as
deep learning-based image processing for ultimate picture-taking
experiences and stunning slow motion video recording at 480 frames per
second (fps).

"The Exynos 7 Series 9610 is our latest mobile processor that delivers
on added power and speed," said Ben Hur, vice president of System LSI
marketing at Samsung Electronics. "But more importantly, it sets a new
performance standard for high-end devices with its deep learning
vision-image processing solution and slow motion video capabilities that
change the way we engage with our mobile devices."
For more enriched photo-taking and filming experiences, the Exynos 9610
delivers a major boost in multimedia performance. Vision and image
processing is now coupled with a neural network engine for more
intelligently enhanced face detection, as well as single camera
out-focusing and augmented low-light images. The advanced face detection
feature enables the camra to recognize faces that are either not facing
forward or partially covered with objects like hair or a hat. With smart
depth sensing, bokeh or out-focused portraits can be taken with a single
camera. Through cleverly merging multiple frames, vision and image
processing enhances the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and brightness that
can improve pictures taken in low-light environments.
The Exynos 9610 also allows for 480fps slow-motion support in full HD.
Even while using a conventional two-stack image sensor, the Exynos 9610
is able to encode slow-motion video, thanks to its image signal
processor (ISP) with improved performance by 1.6 times and
more-than-doubled mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) interface
speed. In addition, the processor uses a premium multi-format codec
(MFC) that allows encoding and decoding up to 4K 120fps.
With its powerful CPU and GPU, the Exynos 9610 provides smooth mobile
computing and gaming performances that meet the needs of today's
high-end smartphones .The CPU is comprised of four Cortex-A73 cores
running at 2.3 gigahertz (GHz), and four 1.6GHz Cortex-A53 cores to load
apps quickly and run multiple tasks simultaneously. The GPU is a
second-generation Bifrost-based ARM (News - Alert) Mali-G72 that can bring more
realistic and immersive graphics on mobile devices.
Always-on sensing applications that require instant feedback, such as
gesture recognition or context awareness, are enabled by an embedded
Cortex-M4F-based low-power sensor hub, which efficiently manages the
sensors in real-time without waking the main processor.
For always connected and seamless mobile broadband connection, the
embedded all-network LTE (News - Alert) modem supports Cat.12 3CA (carrier aggregation)
at 600 megabits per second (Mbps) for downlink and Cat.13 2CA at 150Mbps
for uplink. The processor is also packed with wireless communication
technologies such as high-throughput 802.11ac 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi, faster and
longer range Bluetooth 5.0, and FM for radio. In addition, for global
location positioning coverage, it embeds a 4-mode Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) receiver that includes GPS (Global Positioning
System), GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo.
The Exynos 7 Series 9610 is expected to be mass produced in the second
half of this year.
