The Exynos 2100 will take on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 chipset
As mentioned above, the Exynos 2100 is Samsung's first 5G-integrated flagship mobile processor. The modem can provide a maximum downlink speed of up to 5.1Gbps in sub-6GHz and 7.35Gbps in mmWave. The Exynos 2100 is also the second chipset from Samsung built on a 5-nanometer extreme ultra-violet (EUV) process node. This allows up to 20-percent lower power consumption or 10-percent higher overall performance as compared to its 7nm predecessor. The Snapdragon 888 is also fabricated at Samsung's 5nm EUV foundry.
The CPU is made up of a single powerful Arm Cortex-X1 core that runs at up to 2.9GHz, three high-performing Cortex-A78 cores, and four power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores. Samsung claims it is 30% faster in multi-core tasks than the Exynos 900. The chipset also features the new 14 core Mali-G78 GPU which supports the latest APIs such as Vulkan and OpenCL. Samsung claims a 40 percent improvement in graphics performance.
The new tri-core NPU has architectural enhancements such as minimizing unnecessary operations for high effective utilization and support for feature-map and weight compression. As a result, it can perform up to 26-trillion-operations-per-second (TOPS) with more than twice the power efficiency of the Exynos 900.
The new ISP (Image Signal Processor) on the Exynos 2100 supports camera resolutions of up to 200-megapixels and can connect to six individual sensors and process data from four of them simultaneously. With the help of a multi-camera and frame processor (MCFP), the ISP can also combine feeds from multiple cameras to improve zoom performance and enhance image quality for ultra-wide shots. Lastly, the chipset supports refresh rates up to 144Hz, HDR10+ displays with up to 4K resolution, and enables 8K TV-out.
