Samsung announced the Exynos 2100, its most ‘advanced’ ARM-primarily based mobile processor with integrated 5G, on Tuesday. That is just two days just before it is supposed to launch the Galaxy S21, its next higher-finish flagship Galaxy S telephone for international markets.
The genuine kicker is that this is the processor that will probably energy the Galaxy S21 in India unless Samsung flips a switch or some thing and decides to launch it with Qualcomm’s most current and greatest Snapdragon 888–that is the version anticipated to be sold internationally like in the US.
We will leave all comparisons for when we will have the devices in hand–which must be quickly adequate. For now, right here is a speedy appear at every little thing that the Exynos 2100 brings to the table.
The Exynos 2100 will succeed the Exynos 990 noticed inside final year’s Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note series (in India). Paper specs recommend it is a comprehensive overhaul in all the places that matter like CPU, GPU, AI, and ISP–that must ‘theoretically’ entail larger overall performance and far better efficiency–so there is a lot to appear forward to.

For some context, the Exynos 990 was primarily based on Samsung’s 7nm LPP (EUV) manufacturing procedure and came with an 8-core CPU, with two custom Exynos Mongoose M5 cores clocked at 2.7GHz, two ARM Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.5GHz, and 4 ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2GHz. This was paired with a Mali-G77MP11 GPU.
The Exynos 2100 cranks points up with an ‘improved’ tri-cluster structure created up of a single strong ARM Cortex-X1 core clocked at 2.9GHz, 3 higher-performing Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.8Ghz and 4 energy-effective Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.2Ghz. The octa-core chip is also primarily based on a more ‘advanced’ 5nm EUV procedure technologies. The important takeaways are two.
Samsung’s new chip is stated to be 10 per cent more quickly whilst consuming 20 per cent significantly less energy compared to the chip that it is replacing. For some more context, the new chip is claimed to give 30 per cent ‘enhancement’ in multi-core overall performance.

The larger deal appears to be the new Mali-G78 GPU although that Samsung says will give more than 40 per cent far better graphics more than its predecessor. Samsung is also touting AR/VR or MR (Mixed Reality) experiences and highlighting sophisticated multi-IP governor (AMIGO), a technologies that “overlooks and optimizes power usages of CPU, GPU, and other processes, allowing longer use time even with intense on-screen activities.”
Elsewhere, the Exynos 2100’s tri-core NPU can carry out up to 26-trillion-operations-per-second (TOPS) with more than 2x efficiency, whilst its updated ISP can assistance 200MP cameras. Lastly, the chip’s integrated 5G modem–obviously–supports each sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G delivering downlink speed of up to 5.1 Gbps in sub-6GHz and 7.35Gbps in mmWave, or up to 3.Gbps in 4G networks with 1024 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) assistance.
Samsung has confirmed the Exynos 2100 is now in mass production.
