\u201cThe Exynos 8 Octa is a leading-edge application processor for next-generation mobile devices that incorporates Samsung\u2019s mobile technology leadership in CPU, ISP, and modem as well as process technology,\u201d said Dr. Kyushik Hong, Vice President of System LSI marketing, Samsung Electronics<\/strong>. \u201cWith our custom designed CPU cores and the industry\u2019s most advanced LTE modem, consumers using mobile devices with the Exynos 8 Octa will experience a new level of mobile computing.”<\/p>\n

The Exynos 8 Octa is Samsung\u2019s first application processor to include the company\u2019s initial premium custom CPU cores based on 64-bit ARMv8 architecture providing over 30 percent improvement in performance and 10 percent in power efficiency compared to the Exynos 7 Octa. This chip also supports enhanced heterogeneous multi-processing for efficient usage of the eight cores, four custom and four ARM\u00ae Cortex\u00ae-A53, to deliver the highest performance and power efficiency in its class.<\/p>\n

The Exynos 8 Octa is Samsung\u2019s first integrated one-chip solution in its premium line-up that combines the application processor and modem. Samsung has delivered one-chip Exynos solutions for mid to high-end smartphones in recent years. The Exynos 8 Octa integrates the most advanced LTE Rel.12 Cat.12\/13 modem that enables maximum download speed of up to 600Mbps (Cat.12) and upload speed of up to 150Mbps (Cat.13) with carrier aggregation. With such a high data transfer rate, the Exynos 8 Octa will contribute to delivering an excellent mobile experience, allowing users to enjoy and share high resolution video content on the go with ease. Also the one-chip solution benefits OEMs with a reduced number of parts needed and overall space required for a device, allowing more flexible design options.<\/p>\n

For a graphic-intensive user interface, highly immersive 3D gaming and life-like virtual reality experiences, the Exynos 8 Octa employs ARM\u00ae\u2019s latest GPU, Mali\u2122-T880.<\/p>\n

Samsung plans to begin mass production of the Exynos 8 Octa in late 2015.<\/p>\n
