Samsung Exynos 8 Octa 8890 is official

11 November, 2015
Built on a 14nm process, the new chip packs the company’s new custom ARM cores and an integrated Cat.12/13 LTE modem.

Sort by:

Not surprising they stuck with big.LITTLE as Samsung is the only company thus far to make it work efficiently. Qualcomm should be flogged for their attempts, and Mediatek is just no. Huawei is never all that power efficient with their custom SoCs, despite their leader's claims.

I still think Qualcomm will have more and better features, if not alongside comparable performance.

    that GPU looks promising, Mali T880MP12.. but let's wait till S7 officially announced and tested.. I want to know whether this SoC will throttle performance quickly or not..

    As for the competition, A9 is solid and I'm also eager to know about snap 820 throttle performance..

      1st EXYNOS, 2nd SNAPDRAGON, 3rd MEDIATEK... Huawei kirin & Intel atom is OK but need to improve Gpu

            Another flop by Samsung, go and make RAM and SSD's, it's the only thing you're good at, and leave chips to Qualcomm.

              Kirin 950 has 3x worse gpu. T880MP4 vs T880MP12

                AnonD-292154, 12 Nov 2015 In your dreams; maybe...Maybe even more than 600 Gigaflops of computational power according with the frequency that Samsung implements in their GPU.

                  Monster Processor!
                  but Kirin 950 & Helio X20 are good.
                  and about Snapdragon 820, if really they solved heating problem.
                  i hope because i hate 810!

                    AnonD-292154, 12 Nov 2015 In your dreams; maybe...Is true, why you debate yourself with that? Why the problem of the GPU of Exynos 8890 to be stronger than the GPU of Apple A9? Why? Only in computational power are just 500 or more gigaflops compared with the 250 of the GPU of A9 is a difference, a disparity that you don't understand.

Even with that new Exynossso or wahtever it... moreAs someone else already mentioned, we need to wait till the actual devices come out and performance is measured on these phones. Having said that, Mali T880 MP12 looks promising and looks to be more powerful than GPU in A9 chipset. So what he said seems reasonable.

Even with that new Exynossso or wahtever its called out next year, fron Samsung, the mghty A9 from Apple will still be VERY powerful. But take one thing in to consideration. After few month of the release of this Exynosomething, Apple will release mighty A10 which will wipe the floor with this Exynossogarbage.....

                                    Will not buy an Exynos phone anymore.
                                    It has very limited development.
                                    Poor updates.
                                    No Cyanogen mod or ther AOSP.
