Samsung doubles the GPU power of current silicon
The chips are getting better year after year and Moores Law and common sense tell us that product specification will continue to rise, even if we no longer need them to be more powerful. On the graphics front, Samsung has moved to Imagination Technologies for the Exynos 5410.
Samsung’s new Exynos 5 Octa 5420, based on ARM Mali™-T628 MP6 cores, boosts 3D graphic processing capabilities that are over two times greater than the Exynos 5 Octa predecessor. The newest member of the Exynos family is able to perform General Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) accelerating complex and computationally intensive algorithms or operations, traditionally processed by the CPU.
In addition, the multiple image compression (MIC) IP block inside this System-on-Chip successfully lowers the total system power when bringing pictures or multimedia from memory to display panel. This feature results in maximizing the usage hours of mobile devices with a high-resolution display such as WQXGA (2500x1600).
Samsung claims optimizations in the 5420 have allowed for a 20% increase in CPU performance over the old chip. The new family of Exynos 5 Octa is currently sampling to customers and is scheduled for mass-production in August.
