News & Reviews:   Exynos 990

Earlier, it was rumoured that Samsung's upcoming 5nm chipset will be named Exynos 2100 instead of 1000. The chipset is supposed to be the successor of Exynos 990 that powers the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Note 20 series. Now, it is reported that the company is bringing another 5nm chipset and it's named Exynos 1080. The chipset will be the successor of Exynos 980.

Besides the new Samsung Exynos 990 and Exynos Modem 5123 chipset unveiled at the Samsung Tech Day event, Samsung has also announced that they have begun mass producing their own 12GB LPDDR4X UFS-based multichip package (uMCP). Although 12GB smartphones are already on the rise, this one is different as it's made for mid-range devices as well.

Every year, tech manufacturers will always have a new chipset and this includes Samsung's own Exynos chipset. For 2020, we just got a report by Jeff Arnold, Samsung Chip Executive about a new one called Exynos 990 alongside with a new 5G model chip - Exynos Modem 5123. The new chipsets were just recently announced at Samsung Tech Day event.
