Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., announced the newest member of its Exynos 7 Octa processor line-up, the Exynos 7 Octa 7870. Using 14-nanometer (nm) FinFET process technology, the Exynos 7 Octa 7870 is designed for next-generation mid-range smartphones and other mobile devices.
The Exynos 7 Octa 7870 is equipped with eight 1.6GHz Cortex-A53 cores and LTE Cat.6 2CA Modem that supports 300Mbps downlink speed and FDD-TDD joint carrier aggregation for better network flexibility. In terms of multimedia functionalities, the processor supports 1080p 60fps video playback and WUXGA (1920x1200) display resolution.
Its image signal processor (ISP) delivers high resolution images – up to 16 megapixels for both rear and front cameras, or 8Mp each in dual camera mode. In addition, it integrates GNSS solution that delivers fast time-to-first-fix (TTFF) feature, which enables a robust mobile experience based on more accurate and rapidly transitioning location based services.
The new Exynos 7 Octa 7870 processor consumes over 30 percent less power than mobile SoCs built with 28nm High-k Metal Gate process technology at the same performance level.
The Exynos 7 Octa 7870 will be in mass production in the first quarter of 2016.
