Just days ahead of MWC 2017, Samsung has announced its much debated processor- Exynos 9 series 8895 processor. The new processor might come stacked inside the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, as per the rumours.
The premium Exynos 9 series 8895 processor is revamped, and is much different than its predecessor Exynos 8890. Built on a new 10nm FinFET process technology, the processor has improved 3D transistor structure. It is reported that the change in manufacturing process will reduce power consumption of the Exynos 8895 by 40% against the previous 14nm chipset.
“In addition to being built on the most advanced 10nm FinFET process technology, the new Exynos 9 Series 8895 incorporates Samsung’s cutting-edge technologies including a 2nd generation custom CPU, gigabit LTE modem, and more,” Ben Hur, Vice President of System LSI marketing atSamsung Electronics said in a blog post.
Samsung has started off with the mass production for its Exynos 8895 chips, and is expected to hit the store shelves in first quarter of 2017, alongside of Galaxy S8 smartphones.

The flagship processor from the Korean electronics firm features eight cores arranged in two equal clusters, along with a set of four custom designed cores and four Cortex A53 cores arranged separately.
On the graphics part, the processor has received major tweaks, the new chip packs a Mali G71 MP20 GPU which delivers 1.8X better performance over last year’s Mali T880 MP12 chip.
The Mali G71 GPU is backed by a MFC (multi-format codec) that helps support video recording and playback at a maximum resolution of 4K UHD at 120fps.
Also, Exynos 9 Series 8895 SoC packs camera modules with up to 28MP both in the front and the rear. The chip is enabled to support for 28MP + 16MP dual rear camera setup.
While the rest of the specifications of the Exynos 8895 include support for 4K UHD (4096 x 2160) displays, eMMC 5.1/UFS 2.1/SD 3.0 storage and upto LPDDR4X RAM.

Specs of the processor
The South Korean smartphone giant has embedded a gigabit LTE modem into their Exynos 9 Series 8895 chip. The chip supports five carrier aggregation, thereby making the Exynos 8895 the first of its kind to feature the same. The gigabit LTE modem boasts of max 1 Gbps (Cat 16) downlink with 5CA and 150Mbps (Cat 13) uplink with 2CA.The flagship processor from the Korean electronics firm features eight cores arranged in two equal clusters, along with a set of four custom designed cores and four Cortex A53 cores arranged separately.
