Exynos 1480 was a mid-range processor and it did what was asked of it very well. Now Exynos 1580 has arrived and will be used in the Galaxy A56 model.
This processor is a big upgrade over the Exynos 1480 – boasting ARMv9 processor cores and twice as powerful graphics. The processor is manufactured with Samsung’s third-generation 4nm EUV FinFET manufacturing process.
The Exynos 1580’s cores switch to a tri-cluster design, with one main Cortex-A720 core (2.9GHz), three larger A720 cores (2.6GHz), and four A520 (1.95GHz). This alone represents a huge performance increase over the 1480 using ARMv8 cores.
The graphics unit uses AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture. Samsung says that maximum performance is increased by 37%, while performance at the same power level as the 1480 is increased by 20%. This graphics unit also increases GL2 cache.
The artificial intelligence unit offers 14.7 TOPS performance. The 1380 had only 4.9 TOPS, but the 1480’s performance was not specified. The specifications page says that the cache capacity of the new AI unit has increased to 2 MB, but the effects of this will be known only after benchmarks.
The new processor supports LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 storage. Connectivity options are at a very good level with 5G (both sub-6GHz and mmWave), Wi-Fi 6E (ax) and Bluetooth 5.4.
Display and camera support are the same as before, with a single 200MP camera (or dual 32+32MP at 30fps) with up to 1080p+ at 144Hz and 4K video at 60fps. A 200MP camera on the Galaxy A56 seems unlikely, but Samsung says the new processor improves image processing compared to its predecessor.
As we mentioned above, Exynos 1580 is likely to be used in the Samsung Galaxy A56, which is expected to be introduced early next year. It could also feature on tablets, for example the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ in 2023 used the Exynos 1380, but that’s just a guess at this stage.
