Exynos 7270
Samsung Electronics on Tuesday said in a statement that it has started mass production of Exynos 7 Dual 7270, application processor built on 14-nanometer Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET). It is industry’s first mobile application processor (AP) designed specifically for wearable devices with 14-nm FinFET process technology, the company claimed.
The company expanded the use of 14-nm FinFET process technology, the high-quality and low power technology that was applied on APs mostly for high-end devices to the mass market models early this year.
The Exynos 7 Dual 7270, powered by two Cortex-A53 cores, increases power efficiency by 20 percent compared to its predecessor built on 28nm, enabling longer use of wearable devices on a single charge. Also, the chip integrated connectivity solutions - WiFi and Bluetooth- as well as FM (frequency modulation) radio capability into one.
“The Exynos 7270 presents a new paradigm for system-on-chips (SoC) dedicated to wearables,” said Ben K. Hur, vice president of System LSI Marketing at Samsung Electronics. “(The Exynos 7270) will greatly accelerate wider adoption of wearable devices by overcoming limitations in current solutions such as energy usage and design flexibility.”
