Samsung Announces Exynos 5430: First 20nm Samsung SoC
 

While we mentioned this in our Galaxy Alpha launch article, Samsung is finally announcing the launch of their new Exynos 5430 SoC.

The main critical upgrade that the new chips revolve around is the manufacturing process, as such Samsung delivers its first 20nm SoC product and is also at the same time the first manufacturer to do so.

On the CPU side for both the 5430, things don’t change much at all from the 5420 or 5422, with only a slight frequency change to 1.8GHz for the A15 cores and 1.3GHz for the A7 cores. We expect this frequency jump to actually be used in consumer devices, as the 5422’s announced frequencies were not reached in the end, being limited to 1.9GHz/1.3GHz in the G900H version of the Galaxy S5. Same as the 5422, both SoCs comes fully HMP enabled.
