A few weeks ago, Samsung launched the Galaxy A55 equipped with Exynos 1480. However, the company did not officially introduce this processor. Only recently was the latest mid-range Exynos processor announced.

Here's everything you need to know about the Exynos 1480.

Exynos 1480 is the first mid-range processor with AMD's RDNA architecture GPU

Exynos 1480 is manufactured on Samsung Foundry's 4nm (4LPP+) process - an improvement compared to the 5nm process of Exynos 1380. The new processor's CPU has four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.75GHz and four Cortex cores. -A55 has a clock speed of 2GHz. Samsung says the Exynos 1480 saves 22% more electricity than its predecessor. The product supports LPDDR4x LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

This is also the first mid-range Exynos processor equipped with AMD's Xclipse 530 GPU with RDNA architecture. The product supports a Full HD+ resolution screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. While previous reports said the GPU uses AMD's RDNA 2 architecture, Samsung claims that it uses the latest RDNA 3 architecture. Therefore, things are still unclear at this time.

According to Samsung, the Exynos 1480 has 53% faster GPU performance than its predecessor. The product also supports advanced gaming features such as Variable Rate Shading (VRS) and Super Resolution. Thanks to that, gaming performance is significantly improved compared to the previous generation.

The Exynos 1480's image signal processor (ISP) supports camera sensors up to 200MP. The product can handle 30 frames per second from two 32MP camera sensors simultaneously or one 64MP camera sensor with HDR. In addition, the Exynos 1480 can record 4K@60 movies - a big improvement compared to the Exynos 1380, which can only record 4K@30.

The Exynos 1480's neural processing unit (NPU) is four times more powerful than its predecessor. In addition, the product also has a 5G modem that supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz. Maximum download speed is 5.1Gb/s โ€“ twice faster than the previous generation. Meanwhile, the maximum upload speed is 1.28Gb/s.

Finally, the Exynos 1480 also supports court positioning satellite systems
