05 November 2018
The Exynos 7 9610 already features an AI co-processor, but this will be a more powerful design for flagship image processing.

        Samsung’s new 7LPP allows up to 40% increase in area efficiency with 20% higher performance or 50% lower power consumption, resulting in better yields with significantly fewer layers

          GOOGL, 06 Nov 2018Intel?Intel uses CISC architecture ARM uses RISC architecture. RISC is better than CISC in most cases, and where CISC is better RISC is catching up very fast. All Apple in-house chips are based on ARM, soon Apple will drop Intel entirely.

            where is the logic in that? you high bro?
            1st of all, in that time only Sony IMX400 was capable of super slow mo, your S8 has IMX330.
            you said that snapdragon was not able to handle super slow motion, then tell me why the one in Sony Xperia XZ Premium can?? its same SD835 in both.

                  Gze, 05 Nov 2018I think they underclock just to skip thermal throttling issuesPlease get your facts straight before making a braindead comment. They underclocked it so they could sell devices using exynos SoCs at the same price as devices using qualcomm SoCs. You annoying twit.

Sure it doesn't provide software updates as long as iOS, it isn't as secure as iOS, but in the end, the pros outweight the cons. Pretty much as years past when Tim Cook took over, Apple really turned into a overrated brand. Argue with me for those who want, but it's a fact

                      In India Samsung has done Fan Party where Samsung India's higher level ppl like Director, MD where present. They had talk with all the People. Exynos processor present in S8 is capable of super slow motion video but either wise snapdragon was not. So they had to cancel that feature in S8. Exynos is far better than Snapdragon.
                      And putting more than 2 NPU's, it quite power consuming for a mobile device and the heat generation from it.

And such a device which will turn to a full desktop with just a HDMI connector.

                                  ARM is the industry R&D leader; anyone who wants to be the products leader, only needs to fully implement ARM technologies.

                                      Why not quad core or multiple NPUs?
                                      The more the merrier is the rule for tech.
                                      Also I hope Samsung improves their Exynos chip.
