Samsung has been on a roll recently with announcements about its upcoming devices, such as the Galaxy Watch 7 series, new foldable devices, and the Galaxy Ring. However, one key specification we missed in the Watch 7 series was the SoC. It has now been revealed to be the Samsung Exynos W1000. Here's everything you need to know about it.
The Samsung Exynos W1000 is likely to power the Galaxy Watch 7 series
The Exynos W1000 is built on Samsung Foundry's 3nm process, compared to the W930's 5nm architecture. This means that the W1000 will be much more energy efficient. This could lead to better battery life on the Galaxy Watch 7 series.
The W1000 is a 5-core CPU with 1 x Cortex-A78 performance core clocked at 1.6 GHz and 4 x Cortex-A55 efficiency cores clocked at 1.5 GHz. Samsung claims the W1000 has 2.7x faster app launch times compared to the W930. Single-core performance appears to have improved by 3.4x while multi-core performance has also increased by 3.7x.
Some of the other technologies Samsung has managed to fit into the W1000 are panel-level packaging with fan-out for improved heat dissipation, package-on-package (ePOP) and System-i packages. All of these lead to better efficiency.
