Samsung Galaxy A56 benchmark results reveal Exynos 1580's faster CPU and new RDNA GPU

02 October 2024
"Faster" as in clock speed, anyway, we don't actually know what the CPU cores are used in the new chipset. But we do know that it will have a next-gen GPU.

Besides being cheaper, the Huawei nova 13 is so much better than Samsung!

        SD 7 gen 1? I wrote that the SD 7 plus gen 3 is a mid-range chip for 2024, compared to which the Exynos 1480 is definitely an entry-level chip.

          potato4k, 03 Oct 2024Let’s hope those are A720 cores. The gap between flagship S... moreOn paper yes but in real life cpu gape isn't that big. What you see Antutu or Geekbench are scores which consume 17W, no phone can sustain that power, in real life phone sustain around 5W or at best 7W if it's something like gaming phone.

          At 5W many phones are almost same.

          Most of time difference between flagship and midrange is GPU and burst perfomance.

            Would you consider sd 7 gen 1 midrange and E1480 entry level?

              The Samsung S24+ was near perfect.
              In weight, size, design, and ergonomics. Heck I didn't even mind the price.

              Where they went wrong was:
              No root access, Exynos chipset, and Side-grade Cameras.
              If it had the S23U Cameras, QC 8g3 chipset, and a way to root it (xda is barren) then it would have killed the Pixel 8Pro and Pixel 9XL.

              The S23U/S24U are too sharp, too wide, too tall, and way too heavy. The software support is great, but lack of root really hurts it for enthusiasts. A phone must be greater than the sum of its parts. Otherwise, people should get an iPhone.

                  RaviSS, 03 Oct 2024Looking at the numbers, I believe these are A720 cores. A78... moreYou might be right. To me it looks like:
                  Samsung 4nm
                  1x Cortex-X3
                  3x Cortex-A720
                  5x Cortex-A520
                  Cutdown AMD iGPU

                  Something that might be ahead of the QC 7g2+ and QC 8g1+, and slightly behind the QC 8g2. Which is good. And it puts this $500 Samsung, as nearly competitive against the $2,000 Google Pixel 9 phones performance/feature/efficiency wise.

                  Why would Samsung go for such an upgrade? Perhaps the next year's Flagship MediaTek, Exynos, and Snapdragon are just that much more powerful. It is exciting to think about.

                          Seems to me like it is a cut-down version of Exynos 2400/2400e. Specs for the aforementioned processors are:

                          1 Cortex-X4 @3.2/3.1 Ghz
                          2 Cortex-A720 @2.9 Ghz
                          3 Cortex-A720 @2.6 Ghz
                          4 Cortex-A520 @1.95 Ghz

                          Remove the Cortex-X4 core as well as one of the higher clocked A720 core, and the specs and performance numbers would closely correspond to the info we have for Exynos 1580.

Meanwhile, the Chinese will just blast 80 different model names from 3 sub-brands in your face, some of which are just rebrands from another sub-brand or even from the same sub-brand, with some appearing to have a successor but then that successor is actually not a straight upgrade but it has some upgrades and also some downgrades and at that point it becomes difficult for even an expert to understand all the different models and that nonsense. (For Samsung, if you keep out the M/F series out of the equation and just look at A and S series, it‘s easy because every one covers a specific price point)

                                  Onboard UFS storage is too small,
                                  Should adapt NVME like Apple for replaceable storage

                                    still exynos so nope

                                      It could definitely be an A715/A720, at least for the prime core. That would be great. By benchmarks alone, in CPU side, so far it is ahead of the Dimensity 8200, and beats Tensor G2 in multicore while being slightly below in single core.
