The new mobile processor’s powerful modem supports 5G to 2G networks, offering a fast gigabit downlink speed in 4G LTE and up to 2.55-gigabits per seconds in sub-6-gigahertz 5G. The modem also supports E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC), which combines 2CC LTE and 5G connectivity to improve mobile downlink speed of up to 3.55Gbps, the company said.
The neural processing unit (NPU) features elevated performances of up to 2.7 times compared to its predecessor and is built into the Exynos 980 to provide new levels of on-device intelligence. With the NPU readily available on-chip, AI tasks are processed right from the device instead of off-loaded to a server, thereby providing better data privacy and security, the company explained.
The NPU offers enhancements to applications such as secure user authentication, content filtering, mixed reality, intelligent camera, and much more. Samsung Electronics plans to start mass producing the Exynos 980 within this year ahead of rival system chip makers such as Qualcomm and Media Tek that have also developed their own 5G-inetergrated mobile processors.?
