New Delhi, Dec 19 (IANS): Samsung is set to launch a new Exynos chipset on January 12, just two days before the supposed launch date of the Galaxy S21 series.

Famous insider Ice Universe, who has previously been proven correct in leaks related to Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple, claimed that the new SoC will be called Exynos 2100.

The new SoC is expected to power the upcoming Galaxy S21 series in Asia, European regions and other usual regions.

Typically, regions like the US, China, and South Korea would be expected to get the best chipset from Qualcomm, which in this case means Snapdragon 888.

The upcoming Exynos 2100 will be based on the 5nm manufacturing process, as will the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and Apple’s A14 SoC. To recall, Samsung’s old Exynos 990 SoC was based on the 7nm process and faced a number of thermal throttling issues.

It is said to feature an eight-core CPU with an ultra-high-performance core clocked at 2.9GHz (possibly ARM’s new Cortex-X1 microarchitecture), flanked by three more high-end cores at 2.8GHz (Cortex -A78 from ARM) and four smaller cores running at 2.4 GHz. It will include a 5G modem as standard. The GPU comes from ARM’s Mali-G78 GPU.
