Samsung has introduced the Exynos 1680 chipset, targeting improvements in performance and efficiency for its mid-range smartphones. The processor is expected to power devices such as the Galaxy A57.
CPU and Process Improvements
The Exynos 1680 is built on Samsung’s updated 4nm process. It features a CPU configuration with one Cortex-A720 core clocked up to 2.9GHz, alongside four additional Cortex-A720 cores and three Cortex-A520 efficiency cores.
This setup aims to deliver smoother app switching and more consistent performance during extended use.
Graphics and Display Support
The chipset includes the Xclipse 550 GPU based on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture. Samsung said the GPU offers around 15% improved performance compared to the previous generation.
It supports Full HD+ displays with refresh rates of up to 144Hz, aligning with the growing presence of high refresh rate panels in mid-range devices.
AI and Processing Capabilities
The Exynos 1680 features an upgraded neural processing unit capable of delivering up to 19.6 TOPS, representing roughly a one-third increase over its predecessor.
This enhancement is expected to support camera processing and AI-driven features within Samsung’s One UI software.
Memory, Storage, and Connectivity
The chipset supports LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, specifications typically found in higher-end devices.
Connectivity features include 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 6.1.
Camera and Video Support
The Exynos 1680 supports camera sensors up to 200MP. It also enables 4K video recording at 60fps with 10-bit HDR.
As mentioned before, this chipset is going to feature in Samsung’s upcoming mid-range smartphones, including the Galaxy A57.
