Samsung unveils Exynos 9 - a 10nm chip to challenge the Snapdragon 835

23 February 2017
A Gigabit LTE modem, beefy GPU and a strong focus on VR define this chip. It's not purely a phone chipset either, it will be used in cars as well.

    However they gimped it without xenon or OIS and limited support.

              Insane specs... 120fps 4l recording takes a lot of horsepower

                Anonymous, 23 Feb 2017While it isn't important for you, it is much more important... moreYes but smartphone cameras have gotten really good. They need to spend money on other innovations. Also it would be nice if they had flagships in 2 flavours, 1 with a better camera and one with a reduced camera and maybe more battery. That's why I like the modularity idea with the moto series. It would be even better if the industry moved towards a similar solution where a phone is built with a socket for the soc. Then you choose the snap in case like the moto has that includes different types of cameras/socs.

                  These are specifically aimed at multi core while still actually being very close behind in single core.

                    Agreed that Exynos 9 8895 is more advanced than its predecessor and able to challenge Snapdragon 835 but why they never try to compare with A10 processor. With the Geekbench Single core scores of these processors, i feel they need a year or two for these companies to compare with A10.

                          And this wouldn't be the first or second time even that exynos had the advantage in back with the S1.

                            They could always use a slightly better amp with them though. Especially the snap versions

                                  4xA53 @2.5Ghz

                                  Many people laugh about Mediatek and you post to laugh. But they often do a great job (see mt6752 vs S615 or mt6732 vs S410)
                                  About S810, performances are unstable.

                                    WOW! The Exynos 9 looks mighty impressive. 2017 is looking great for chipsets with excellent offerings from Qualcomm Snapdragon, Samsung Exynos, Huawei HiSilicon Kirin and now even Xiaomi Pinecone.

                                      Off topic.....
                                      X30 configuration looks suprisingly balanced......

                                        The min cluster is rumored to be clocked at 2.0GHz, but it's still a rumor. We even don't know if they use four A73 cores or two, and if they use two A53 cores or four A35 cores for their min cluster.

                                        I don't know why you are comparing with sd810(I guess u r a mtk fan boy), but sd810's average score is 1300~1400 in single core.
