The Exynos W920 is a new wearable processor from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a global leader in revolutionary semiconductor technology. The new CPU features an LTE modem and is the first to use a groundbreaking 5-nanometer (nm) extreme ultra-violet (EUV) manufacturing node, delivering the solid yet efficient performance that next-generation wearable devices demand.
“Smartwatches, for example, are no longer merely a fashionable accessory. They're becoming a bigger part of our life to keep us active, safe, and alert,” said Harry Cho, vice president of Samsung Electronics' System LSI marketing. Samsung claims that future wearables will be able to run applications with more visually appealing user interfaces and responsive user experiences while staying connected on the road with fast LTE.
Samsung's latest product, the Exynos W920, features cutting-edge 5nm EUV technology for the next generation of wearables. It contains two Arm® Cortex®-A55 cores for high-speed yet low-power processing, as well as an Arm MaliTM-G68 GPU that boosts CPU performance by 20% and graphics performance by tenfold over its predecessor. On a device's qHD (960540) display, the Exynos W920's improved cores and speed enable speedier app launches and a more engaging and eye-catching 3D graphical user interface (GUI).
Even with the newest features and developments, the Exynos W920 comes in the smallest package currently available on the market for wearables with Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging (FO-PLP). The Exynos W920, power management IC (PMIC), LPDDR4, and embedded multimedia card (eMMC) are all placed in the same package using a System-in-Package-embedded Package on Package (SiP-ePoP) architecture. Smartwatches may be able to accommodate larger batteries and have sleeker designs due to the processor's compact size.
Always-on-display (AOD) is a popular feature for wearables, especially smart watches, because it allows users to view the time, alerts, missed calls, and other information without having to wake the watch from sleep mode. Rather than using the main CPU, the W920 uses a separate low-power display processor, the Cortex-M55, which reduces display power consumption in AOD mode when compared to the previous Exynos model.
The Exynos W920 comes with a 4G LTE Cat.4 modem and a GNSS L1 for tracking speed, distance, and elevation during outdoor activities, allowing for seamless connected experiences on the go.
The Exynos W920 is the first CPU to support Samsung's new unified wearable platform, which was created with Google and will be utilized in the next Galaxy Watch model.
