Discussion Samsung Exynos SoC thread

[DZero]

Yeah, if this is so, Samsung has been using the same cores for 4 generations now. Cortex A78 was a core announced by ARM in 2020, and the A55 is even older than that.

Exynos	A78 + A55	Phone
1280	2 + 6	Galaxy A53
1380	4 + 4	Galaxy A54
1480	4 + 4	Galaxy A55
1580	4 + 4 (?)	Galaxy A56

2025 midrange phone with cores from 2020. This would have been excusable if it was like a very low end (<$200) phone. But no, this is Samsung's Galaxy A5x series, which has an MSRP of about $500.

Wait what? Isn't A715 an ARMv9 core?

It is possible that the core clocked at 2.9 GHz could be a Cortex X1.

Checking Nano Review I saw that the A715 is an ARM v8.6
And is the A720 which is an ARM v9.0

But seeing ARM's page, this migth be wrong

Cortex-A710 | Advanced Performance with Power Efficiency

Arm Cortex-A710 is a first-gen Armv9 CPU with DynamIQ tech, providing advanced micro-architectural features that enhance performance while balancing power efficiency.

So yeah, that could be a Cortex X1 this time.
