A Samsung researcher, Dr. Xuebao, recently revealed that the company is working on a new processor, Exynos 1080. It should be noted that it is not a flagship SoC, instead, it will be the successor to Exynos 980. Exynos 1080 is said to support 5G capability and is expected to be used in high-end devices. Samsung’s Exynos 1080 uses a 5nm fabrication process, but exact details about the manufacturing process are yet to be revealed. It is speculated that Exynos 1080 will use 5nm LPE process similar to Qualcomm Snapdragon 875. Samsung Exynos 1080 will join Exynos 2100, Apple’s A14, Huawei’s Kirin 9000, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 875n process, all these processors use a 5nm fabrication process.
