Vivo cooperates with Samsung to develop exynos 980: a77 architecture / dual-mode 5g

"Vivo and Samsung cooperate with each other to ensure the development progress and efficiency. The overall progress is 2-3 months ahead of schedule. The dual-mode 5g mobile phone equipped with this chip will be able to meet consumers within the year," Vice President vivo said at the conference. This has greatly enriched 5g terminal selection, brought more rich 5g experience to more consumers, and accelerated the development, popularization and industrialization process of 5g industry. " In terms of chips, exynos 980 processor is the first product of exynos series integrating 5g SOC, and supports two networking modes of NSA & SA. It adopts 8-nanometer FinFET process to integrate two 2.2GHz cortex-a77 large cores and four 1.8GHz cortex-a55 small cores. It is also the first chip in the world to adopt the latest a77 architecture of arm, which has improved the same frequency performance by 20% compared with A76. At the same time, the flagship GPU mali-g76 MP5 is integrated. Samsung exynos 980 supports SA & NSA dual-mode 5g, which can achieve data communication of up to 2.55gbps in the band below 6GHz; in 4G communication environment, it can achieve the speed of up to 1.6gbps, and the download speed of 4g-5g dual connection can reach up to 3.55gbps. At the same time, the chip has a built-in high-performance NPU, and the AI performance is about 2.7 times higher than that of the previous generation, which is equivalent to that of the snapdragon 855 plus. In addition, the Samsung exynos 980 is equipped with a high-performance ISP capable of processing up to 108 million pixel images, which can support the output of 100 million pixel cameras, connect up to five image sensors and drive three sensors at the same time. Support for Wi Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. In terms of image, vivo, based on its previous camera development experience, has contributed more than 100 camera related functional features to the exynos 980 platform, including algorithm, dual camera, three camera system path design, etc. Over the past decade, vivo has accumulated rich experience in the area of intelligent terminal hardware and software layer. This time, vivo has gone deep into the pre definition stage of chip, and developed exynos 980 jointly with Samsung. From the perspective of end-user needs, it aims to create a chip that "naturally fits the expectations of consumers". In order to meet the needs of consumers better, "born" vivo gives full play to its in-depth insight into consumers and technology accumulation advantages. Facing the 5g era, vivo continues to accelerate the upgrading of intelligent terminals and intelligent services, further improving the user experience. This time, we jointly developed a dual-mode 5g AI chip with Samsung to help the popularization of 5g mobile phones and the development of 5g industry.
