Samsung Unveils a New Wearable’s Processor at Unpacked
The new Samsung Exynos W920 processor is the industry’s first wearable processor based on an advanced 5-nanometer (nm) extreme ultra-violet (EUV) process node and has an LTE modem integrated into it. It is used in Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatch with a new unified wearable platform the company built with Google. The new processor comes with two Arm Cortex-A55 cores for power-efficient high performance and an Arm Mali-G68 for improved CPU and graphics performance. The new chip improves CPU performance by around 20% and offers ten times better graphic performance than its predecessor, which supports faster application launches, a 3D graphical user interface and a QHD screen.
The Exynos W920 also comes with fan-out panel-level packaging (FO-PLP) that allows manufacturers to house large batteries while maintaining a sleeker design. The system-in-package embedded package on package configuration incorporates the Exynos W920, power management integrated circuit, LPDDR4, and embedded multimedia car in the same package and an always-on-display functionality that will activate a dedicated low-power display processor, the Cortex-M55, for reduced display power consumption and support a global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) L1 to better track speed, distance, and elevation during outdoor activities.
