CPU:

Samsung’s new flagship 5nm Exynos 2100 processor will have 20-percent lower power consumption or 10-percent higher overall performance than the 7nm predecessor. The octa-core CPU comes in an improved tri-cluster structure made up of a single powerful Arm® Cortex®-X1 core that runs at up to 2.9GHz, three high-performing Cortex-A78 cores, and four power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores delivering more than 30-percent enhancement in multi-core performance than the predecessor.

GPU

The new Exynos will come with Arm Mali -G78 GPU, which supports the latest API’s such as Vulkan and OpenCL. The new GPU will improve graphic performance by more than 40% to enable an immersive on-screen experience including gaming AR/VR or Mixed Reality (MR). 

The Exynos also comes with an advanced multi-IP governor (AMIGO) technology, which overlooks and optimizes power usages. 

NPU

The SOC also has the newly designed tri-core NPU (neural processing unit). Exynos 2100 can perform up to 26-trillion-operations-per-second (TOPS) with more than twice the power efficiency than the previous generation.

ISP

Exynos advanced signal processing (ISP) can support phone camera resolutions up to 200-megapixels (Mp). It can connect up to six individual sensors and is able to process four concurrently for richer multi-camera experiences. With a multi-camera and frame processor (MCFP), it can combine feeds from multiple cameras to improve zoom performance. The ISP also offers a content-aware feature that can recognize scenes, faces, and objects to adjust camera settings to capture more details.

5G

The integrated 5G modem in the Exynos 2100 will support sub-6 and mmWave spectrums from 2G GSM/CDMA, 3G WCDMA, and 4G LTE. The modem can support download speeds of up to 5.1 Gbps in sub-6 GHz and 7.35 Gbps in mmWave or 3.0Gbps in 4G networks with 1024 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) support.

Samsung is also working with AMD for future flagship processor GPUs to be released in 2022.
