TL;DR
- Samsung is reportedly engaged on two new chips.
- One of many chips could possibly be the third technology of Google’s Tensor chip.
- The opposite chip could also be a successor to the Galaxy A53’s Exynos 1280.
Google could also be working in collaboration with Samsung on its subsequent system on a chip (SoC), which could possibly be the Tensor 3 or presumably a Tensor 2.5. Samsung may additionally be working by itself in-house chip, a successor to the Exynos 1280.
In accordance with a rumor from GalaxyClub, Samsung is within the means of engaged on two new chipsets. A type of new chipsets carries the mannequin quantity S5P9865. This sample appears to imitate the earlier mannequin numbers within the Tensor line, with the unique Tensor mannequin quantity being S5P9845 and Tensor 2 believed to have the mannequin quantity S5P9855.
Along with the mannequin quantity, it’s believed that the chip is being examined below the dev board identify of “Ripcurrent.” You’ll be able to evaluate this to the code identify reportedly given to the Tensor 2 — “Cloudripper.”
The rumor additionally means that Samsung is engaged on a future chip of its personal. Mentioned chip is believed to be a successor to the Exynos 1280 processor discovered within the Samsung Galaxy A53. Just like the rumored Tensor chip, this SoC mimics the mannequin quantity sample of the earlier chip, with the 1280 chip having the quantity S5E8825 and the brand new chip having the quantity S5E8835. Probably named the Exynos 1380, the chip may presumably discover its method into subsequent yr’s Galaxy A54.
It’s essential to understand that all of that is only a rumor and ought to be handled as such.
As for the Tensor 2, which might be within the upcoming Pixel 7, a leak we reported on late final month suggests the chip is probably going sticking with older CPU cores just like the Cortex-A78 and Cortex-X1. This implies Tensor 2 could possibly be lagging behind present flagship SoCs when it releases. If that’s the case, a Tensor 2.5 chip may assist Google catch as much as present flagship SoCs before later.
