Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge appears at GeekBench. Shows up the Exynos 7420 chipset.

The much purported Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge having model number SM-G925F has recently been spotted on GeekBench. The handset has been spotted with the much talked after Exynos 7420 chipset and a Android 5.0.2 Lollipop version. However, the chipset has put a formidable score where the single-core of the Exynos 7420 chipset puts 1,495 score points and the multi-score tests results to 5,375 points which puts the handset at the top of the list for mobile gaming.

Moreover, the TouchWiz for the device is also to worked upon a bit and now would have the 64 bit processing. Moreover, the GeekBench benchmarks also confirmed that the Exynos 7420 is built with 14nm process and would come with 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM and the latest Android version as stated above.

The new Samsung Exynos 7420 SoC offers more power efficiency compared to 20nm processors

Qualcomm recently introduced its new Snapdragon 810 octa-core chipset that is likely to be seen in most of the flagship handsets for 2015. Now Korean giant Samsung is putting up a straight competition to Qualcomm as it is almost likely that the company would use its own home baked Exynos 7420 chipset for its next flagship the Galaxy S6.

The Exynos 7420 benchmark shows a new spectacular chipset giving almost similar performance to the Snapdragon 810 chipset and is designed with a 14nm process. The Exynos 7420 chipset that comes with an octa-core CPU and a Mali-T760 graphics support is said to consume almost 30-35 % less power as compared to the previous 20nm chipsets. Thus this might be the reason why Samsung has still preferred to keep only 2600mAh for its next Galaxy S6 flagship.

This new Exynos chipset is made with a three-dimensional FinFET transitor technology that over comes the limitations of 2D planar structure. This 14nm process is being used by Intel too for its desktops, but Samsung is the first company to bring it to mobile technology. The company is likely to continue using this process to its other NAND memory chips.

If the chip is a big success for its next flagship, we could probably see it making home to other flagship Galaxy handset coming ahead this year.

Samsung taking on Qualcomm by using its own Exynos chipset in Galaxy S6

Samsung is using its own Exynos chipsets instead of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 in its new upcoming flagship smartphone Galaxy S6. It seems this decision of Samsung’s is not because of so-called overheating issues with Qualcomm’s latest SoC as alleged by the TSMC foundry, but is actually because the Korean company wants to take on the world famous chip maker with its 14nm technology.

According to the Korean media, industry sources say that both Snapdragon 810 and Exynos 7420 chipsets are already being incorporated in various new flagships. Samsung is using Exynos in its Galaxy S6 while Snapdragon 810 is being used in LG G Flex 2 and Xiaomi Mi Note. After some earlier mishaps with overheating of Samsung’s Exynos 5 series, Samsung began to use more of Qualcomm chipsets but now it is back with Exynos 7420 that will go into the Galaxy S6.

Samsung will be using the superior 14nm technology for manufacturing the Exynos 7420, while Qualcomm is still using the old 20nm process for its Snapdragon 810 and is moving on the 14nm process only this year. 14nm technology means smaller footprint, superior performance and lower power consumption which takes Samsung a step ahead of Qualcomm.

Qualcomm has of course announced that the heating problem with its Snapdragon 810 has been solved. Snapdragon SoCs are famous for their multi-band LTE modems, but Samsung has now developed its own LTE Cat. 9 radio which will actually be built on 20nm, while Qualcomm’s LTE radio is on 28nm. While Snapdragon 810 allows 4K encoding-decoding and streaming, it is not known what Exynos is capable of, but knowing Samsung, we needn’t be too worried.
