There is still a bit left for the official presentation, but the truth is that at this point we already have a lot of data on the table. We refer to the Samsung Galaxy S8. Today we were talking about the disappearance of the physical buttons and the incorporation of the navigation keys on the screen, but also about the possibility that this device has a touch pointer for the first time, in the purest style of the legendary Samsung Galaxy Note. Now we have interesting information regarding the processor that will be integrated into the terminal. Rumors tell us that the Samsung Galaxy S8it will be a super powerful device. In fact, there has already been talk about the type of processor that this smartphone will have integrated. However, if the forecasts are not twisted, it is most likely that we can talk about two different chips: one would be marketed directly in Europe, while the other would only be released in China and the United States. Do you want to know what its characteristics will be?
In the first place, it must be said that the Chinese and North American public will surely have a Samsung Galaxy S8 equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, while European users, that is, we, will have access to an Exynos 8895, developed within from Samsung itself. So far, rumors have indicated that it will be a super powerful chip, whose operating frequency would be around 3 GHz and that it could be combined with an ARM Mali-G71 graphics card (GPU), the most powerful that the company has. British right now.
The fact is that, the publication of the image that you have at the top has been final to approximate the characteristics of this processor, which in this case has also been compared with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835.
It is stated in this document that the Exynos 8895 will arrive in two different versions. The former will feature a Samsung quad-core processor designed to run at 200 MHz higher than the 8895V. In the second version, the G71 GPU will have two complementary cores. In addition, the next Samsung processor will be manufactured following a 10 nm process , the same as used in the SD835, not in vain, both are part of the Samsung factory. Thus, the CPU will be made up of four and four cores, which will make up about eight cores in total. In short, a much more efficient processor is expected, which does not consume so much battery.
As for the Mali-G71 graphics card (GPU) that will be available for the two versions of this Exynos 8895, we must say that it will have 20 cores and that there will be a second variant of 18, capable of running at 550 MHz. But this is not all. We know that this processor will be compatible with an LPDDR4 RAM, with a UFS 2.1 storage system , with LTE Cat.16 networks and with 4K screens, being able to withstand the operation of a device as powerful as the Samsung Galaxy S8. The latest information we have on the table tells us about a start-up of this processor from the second quarter of 2017, between April and June of next year, coinciding with the launch date of the Samsung Galaxy S8 that we expect.
