As expected, Samsung's new Exynos 2100 processor, manufactured using the company's 5nm EUV process, was launched today at a special event. The Exynos 2100 will be the heart of the new Galaxy S21 line that arrives the day after tomorrow, albeit with a soul shared with the Snapdragon 888. As is Samsung's tradition, the S21 line will have models with the new processor launched today and also with the 888, launched last month by Qualcomm.

Expectations as high as performance

Samsung's expectations for its new chip are high, with some tests even showing that it can actually hold up or even overcome the old rival Snapdragon. The company says the Exynos 2100 is the most powerful processor they have ever created. It features a CPU with a Cortex-X1 running at 2,9 GHz, three Cortex-A78 and four Cortex-A55 cores, in a tri-cluster structure. The GPU is a 78-core Mali-G14, with Vulkan and OpenCL APIs, and a promised 40% improvement in graphics performance.

According to the South Korean company, in a comparison with the 990nm Exynos 7, the new 5nm EUV chip has a 19% gain in single-core performance and 33% in multi-core. According to Samsung, power consumption is up to 20% lower and overall performance is 10% higher, which is very promising.

A FinFET chip with EUV lithography, but what is it?

Just like the recent Exynos 1080, this is a processor made in the FinFET (Fin Field-effect Transistor) process with EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography. This design optimizes the space between transistors, thus increasing performance and energy efficiency. 

26 trillion operations per second

Additionally, Samsung boasts about the new Exynos 2100's AI engine, the tri-core NPU, and the fact that it's capable of performing 26 trillion operations per second (TOPS, or Tera Operations Per Second). Samsung also says that the new processor's AI abilities also greatly aid the cameras, by identifying the person, landscape, or object being photographed or recorded, and the processor adjusts the camera settings as needed to capture that scene.

200 MP cameras

The new Exynos 2100's advanced image signal processor (ISP) supports six cameras and a maximum resolution of 200 MP, which we know, It's in the plans of the company. With the processor, smartphones will be able to not only play videos with 8K resolution and HDR10+ on their screens, but also record them with their cameras.

Using the frame processor (MCFP), the Exynos 2100's ISP can combine images from multiple cameras in real time to improve zoom or the quality of a panoramic photo, for example. and much more.

5G sub-6 GHz and mmWave

With an integrated 5G modem, the Exynos 2100 will work with sub-5 GHz and mmWave 6G networks, and will allow downloads of up to 7,35Gbps (on mmWave networks) or 5,1Gbps (on sub-6 GHz).
