The platform is distinguished by modern technological process.
A couple of weeks ago, Samsung introduced the Galaxy A21s smartphone, which was the first to receive the latest SoC Exynos 850. However, at that time we knew almost nothing about the platform itself.
What is the latest budget Samsung Exynos 850 platform?
Now she has registered on the Samsung website so that we can find out about its parameters. So, the Exynos 850 is manufactured using the 8 nm process technology. Apparently, this is the first single-chip system on the market that is manufactured according to the modern process technology.
The SoC configuration includes eight Cortex-A55 cores with a frequency of 2 GHz and a Mali-G52 GPU with an unknown number of cores. The platform supports LPDDR4x and eMMC 5.1 memory, Full HD + displays, cameras up to 22 megapixels, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, and 1080p video encoding and decoding at 60 fps. Also worth noting is the availability of the LTE Cat.13 modem.
According to tests that have already appeared on the Web, in AnTuTu, a smartphone gains about 120,000 points. The CPU scores about 47,000 points, while the GPU scores 20,700 points. That is, on average, this is approximately the same level as the Kirin 710, Helio P60, and other similar platforms. Given the modern process technology, Exynos 850 should primarily provide energy efficiency, but there should be no problems with performance, given the segment.
