Samsung Electronics (005930)Just two days before the release of the next-generation flagship smartphone’Galaxy S21′, Samsung Mobile AP (application processor) integrated chip’Exynos’, which will serve as a Galaxy brain, will be unveiled. This is the first time that Samsung Electronics has held a separate event to unveil the Exynos chip.
Both products are produced with Samsung Electronics’ latest foundry (semiconductor consignment production) process, 5 nm (nanometer, 1 nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter).
The industry predicts that the Exynos 2100 will have similar performance and price competitiveness compared to Qualcomm’s latest flagship integrated chip’Snapdragon 888′. Exynos 2100 is expected to be installed in a 5 to 5 ratio on the Galaxy S21 along with the Snapdragon 888 depending on the region.
The Exynos 1080, which was previously unveiled in China, was produced using a 5-nano process, even though it is a mid-range model. Mounting is expected to drive the expansion of its market share in China.
Park Yoo-ak, a researcher at Kiwoom Securities, said, “Exynos has been through a difficult period in the market competition since 2017, and the Exynos 990, which was released in the first half of last year, suffered a decline in market share even in the Galaxy S series due to performance and heat problems.” “We will start to counterattack in market share with performance and price competitiveness.”
Samsung Electronics will introduce this year’s strategic smartphone’Galaxy S21′ series on the 14th (at 00:00 on the 15th Korean time).
