It’s no secret that Samsung has started a collaboration with AMD and everything to make Exynos chips real monsters, primarily in terms of gaming performance. How successful this alliance will be and bring its positive results can be judged by the Exynos 2200, which will form the basis of the flagships of the Galaxy S22 series.
But the manufacturer does not work on this processor alone, there will be other chipsets in its lineup. So, a message came that the Exynos 1280 is in preparation for the release, which will form the basis of the company’s inexpensive solutions. The well-known and authoritative network insider Ice Universe told about the release of this processor today. And his predictions always come true, he has repeatedly proven his awareness of the devices not yet presented.
According to him, Exynos 1280 will be a 5-nanometer process technology chip and its characteristics will be “oddly enough” below the Exynos 1080. The new platform should find its application in “entry-level models”. We will not exclude the possibility that we will see this processor in the products of third-party companies. For example, Vivo, which has already produced smartphones with Samsung chips.
