Samsung Electronics Wednesday said it will mass produce its latest premium application processor (AP), the Exynos 9 Series 9820 within this year.
The new chipset equipped for on-device artificial intelligence (AI) applications features a fourth-generation custom CPU, 2.0-gigabits-per-second (Gbps) LTE Advanced Pro modem, and an enhanced neural processing unit (NPU) to bring new smart experiences to mobile devices.
The Exynos 9820 is an intelligent powerhouse with a separate hardware AI-accelerator, or NPU, which performs AI tasks around seven times faster than the predecessor.
With the NPU, AI-related processing can be carried out directly on the device rather than sending the task to a server, providing faster performance as well as better security of personal information, the company said in a statement.
The NPU will enable a variety of new experiences such as instantly adjusting camera settings for a shot based on the surroundings or recognizing objects to provide information in augmented or virtual reality settings.
With an enhanced architecture design, the Exynos 9820¡¯s new fourth-generation custom core delivers around 40 percent improvement in power efficiency when compared to its predecessor.
The LTE-Advanced Pro modem in the Exynos 9820 brings fast mobile broadband speeds of 2.0Gbps downlink with 8x carrier aggregation and 316 megabits-per-second uplink.
At 2.0Gbps downlink speed, an FHD high-definition movie (3.7GB) can be downloaded in about 15 seconds. The new AP also supports six different telecom modes ranging from 2G to 4G.
