Samsung has announced all the details of the processor that will arrive with its next smartwatch. The South Korean has opted for its own SoC that will provide new features, such as higher performance and better energy efficiency, to the rumored Galaxy Watch 4. The new Exynos W920 adopts packaging technology (FO -PLP). It adds a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC), an LPDDR4 module, and the Integrated Multimedia Card (eMMC) in one package. It therefore becomes the smallest currently available on the smartwatch market, according to Samsung.
Furthermore, the Exynos W920 is built in 5 nanometers . It is the first processor for smart watches to include this architecture, which offers greater energy efficiency and improves performance . In fact, the new SoC has two ARM Cortex A-55 cores and a MaliTM-G68 GPU 10 times more powerful than the previous model. The performance of the CPU, on the other hand, improves by up to 20% compared to its predecessor.
Regarding the improvements related to the panel, this new chip adds support for 3D graphic interfaces and support for resolutions up to 960 x 540 pixels . The new Exynos W920 also includes a dedicated display processor that will reduce energy consumption when the Always-on display is in operation.
Finally, the Exynos W920 has a Cat.4 modem for 4G LTE connection , as well as GPS.
