Samsung has unveiled the Exynos W920, a new processor specially designed for smartphones and portable devices. It has a built-in LTE modem and is the first chip designed for portable devices to be built on a 5-nanometer EUV (extreme ultraviolet) process, according to Samsung.
The new chip features two Cortex-A55 cores, a Mali-G68 GPU and a dedicated Cortex-M55 processor for always-on displays, designed to reduce power consumption. The company claims it offers a 20% improvement in processor performance and a ten-fold increase in GPU gain over its latest portable chip. It is also the “smallest package currently available in the portable device market,” he said.
In its press release, Samsung explicitly wrote that “the Exynos W920 supports a new unified Samsung wearable platform built jointly with Google, and will be applied to the next Galaxy Watch model first.” Without a doubt, this will be the Galaxy Watch 4 which was leaked last month and is expected to be announced tomorrow at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event.
Samsung will also likely unveil its latest smartwatch software that marries Tizen and Wear OS, jointly developed with Google. We expect to see navigation changes, new tiles for third-party apps, better battery efficiency, better health and fitness tracking, and a more open interface.
