Samsung has quietly launched its newest mobile device processor, the Exynos 1580, which succeeds the Exynos 1480. This mid-range SoC was developed in-house by Samsung Semiconductor and fabricated on a 4-nanometre process. The octa-core chipset supports up to 200-megapixel cameras, artificial intelligence (AI) features, and a neural processing unit (NPU) with 14.7 TOPS of computing power. The new Exynos 1580 also offers up to 37 percent improved GPU performance.
The Exynos 1580 is based on the second generation of Samsung’s 3D VLSI architecture. This means the chip is designed for efficient image recognition, high-speed streaming, and low power consumption. It also supports a new mode called Smart Photo Capture, which allows for automatic photo and video capturing in selfie mode. In addition, the Exynos 1580 comes with a new motion refinement feature that promises more explicit videos and more vivid photos even in low light conditions.
Another prominent feature of the Exynos 1580 is its support for the latest wireless connectivity standards, including 5G technology using sub-6GHz and mmWave frequencies. It’s also compatible with Gigabit LTE and supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. The Exynos 1580 also has an NPU with 14.7 TOPS computing power and an enhanced 2MB NPU cache. This allows faster AI processing and enables it to tackle more resource-intensive tasks than the previous Exynos 1480.

Samsung’s latest mid-range SoC also includes the company’s Xcessor 540 GPU. This can handle full HD+ displays with refresh rates up to 144Hz. It can also support cameras with resolutions up to 200MP and offer 4K video recording and playback. The Exynos 1580’s camera capabilities have been enhanced with an improved Temporal Noise Reduction algorithm and a considerable Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) unit that should deliver more explicit videos and vibrant photos.
The Exynos 1580 upgrades its cores to Armv9 and uses a tri-cluster configuration consisting of one big 2.9 GHz Cortex-A720 core, three middle 2.6 GHz cores, and four small 1.95 GHz Cortex-A520 cores. This should enable the chip to handle demanding multitasking and provide a smooth user experience.
The new Samsung Exynos 1580 will be featured in the upcoming Galaxy A56 5G smartphone and other devices from the Korean manufacturer. More details are likely to be unveiled in the coming months.
