Samsung has unwrapped it next generation high-end chipset Exynos 8890.  The chipset got unveiled in Seoul. Built on 14nmFinFET process that SoC comes with custom-designed cores. It has Quad-core processor with in-built home-brewed Mongoose 64-bit ARMv8 cores as the performance cluster, while the routine tasks will be handled with four Cortex-A53 cores.

Samsung Exynos Quad-core 8890 is now official.

While giving 30 percent better performance, the chipset benefits from what is dubbed Samsung Coherent Interconnect (SCI) for smooth interaction between the two performance clusters. The chipset comes with better power efficiency, which does not mean10% more battery life for any phone it carries because the operation capacity of different phones might differ.

Much like the recently announced Kirin 950, theExynos 8890 packs a Mali-T880 GPU graphics, but what matter is the ARM’s graphics processors with hidden number of cores (the x in MPx, which follows the GPU model number). Samsung sports Mali-T880MP12 featuring twelve cores which is quite contrary to Huawei’s MP4.

The Exynos 8890 can support a display resolutions up to 4K UHD (4,096 x 2,160px) or WQUXGA (3,840×2, 400px), which quietly indicates which generation of display the next flagships will bring. However, as the currentExynos 7420 also support such displays but we have seen no handset with one just yet.

These are just the few outlines of the chipset, we are still unknown to how much it is clocked at and many more. Moreover, it is important to learn, will it be good enough to introduce in a device sometime later, as the Galaxy S7 launch is expected in the beginning of the next year.
