Samsung today provided a glimpse of what the Galaxy S10 will offer with the introduction of its new Exynos 9820 chip.
The new silicon is designed to run AI-driven applications through a dedicated "neural processing unit" or NPU on board. This allows the chip to perform Exynos 9810 chip, Samsung said in a press release.
So expect faster processing when using the company's voice assistant, Bixby. Samsung has been pushing hard to make technology competitive with Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant. The goal is to create a whole ecosystem of devices, such as home appliances, that will work over Bixby.
"With the NPU, AI-related processing can provide you with more information," Samsung added. The NPU will also be able to identify and fix the photo-shooting settings based on the light.
The Exynos 9820, which features eight CPUs, also promises to be faster than its predecessor. Samsung is not saying what the new chip is, but it's built with an 8-nanometer manufacturing process, allowing Samsung to pack more transistors on the processor.
As a result, the new chip can offer a 15 to 20 percent performance increase over the Exynos 9810. The next-generation silicon can also consume up to 10 percent less power.
But one area where the chip will be disappointed is the lack of an integrated 5G modem. The Exynos 9820 chip comes with a fast LTE capable modem of 2 gigabits per second download speeds, and 316Mbps upload speeds.
In terms of camera performance, Samsung designed the Exynos 9820 to record 8K video at 30 frames per second. The chip can also record 4K video at up to 150fps.
The Exynos 9820 will go into mass production by year's end. However, Samsung has used Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors when selling its flagship handset in the US. Reportedly, Qualcomm will make a new announcement about an upcoming Snapdragon processor next month. The company has also designed a 5G modem capable of 5 gigabit-per-second speeds that can be paired with its chips.
