Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Overlook the New Exynos W920 Chip

Samsung is all set to launch the Galaxy Watch 4, post multiple leaks and rumours over the past couple of leaks hinting at the product being the next big thing when it comes to Android smartwatches. But, what will set the watch apart will not be its design or build, rather what will be present inside it.

The company provided very few details in relation to the watch but yesterday, it unveiled details in relation to the hardware that will be powering the next smartwatch from Samsung, which is a bigger deal than some might think it to be.

In case you missed it, the Galaxy Watch 4 and the rumoured Galaxy Watch 4 Classic will be powered by the recently announced Exynos W920 chipset, which is a 5nm wearable chipset that has been designed keeping in mind the intention to deliver better performance whilst being much more efficient than its competitors.

Why Does the Exynos W920 Stand Out?

To do so, the W920 is equipped with dual Cortex A55 cores, usually found on smartphones and an ARM Mali-G68 GPU, which, as per Samsung allows for an increase of 20% in CPU performance and a 10x boost in graphics per

formance. The 4G LTE CAT.4 modem provides cellular connectivity, with the chip also supporting built-in GPS.

The chip is built on the 5nm extreme ultra-violet or EUV node at Samsung SLSI, much like the Samsung Exynos 2100, the chipset of choice for 2021’s Samsung flagship, the S21 series. The company added that the chip can handle displays with a resolution of up to 960*540 and comes with a low-power co-processor for AoD or Always on Display functionalities.
