Samsung set to launch new Exynos chip on January 4

Just days away from CES 2018, Samsung is set to unveil the new processor that will power the upcoming Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus smartphones. Samsung Exynos Twitter account just tweeted: “Discover #TheNextExynos that goes beyond a component. Stay tuned.” It comes with an image that has the text “Beyond a Component” and the date January 4, 2018. You can’t glean much from this announcement but the said Exynos 9810 10nm processor is said to pack in an improved GPU and Category 18 LTE modem with peaked download speeds promised at up to 1.2Gbps. It’s being rumoured that Samsung is following in the footsteps of Qualcomm and Huawei and will be including a dedicated neural networking or AI processor in the 9810. We just have to wait a bit to see if there is any truth to these rumours.
