Samsung officially introduced its first 3nm processor – Exynos W1000. This is a powerful chip for wearable devices, specifically, it is expected to be available on the upcoming Galaxy Watch7 & Galaxy Watch Ultra.

After leaked information, Samsung has finally launched its first advanced 3nm manufacturing process processor – Exynos W1000. This is a powerful chip for wearable devices, specifically, it is expected to be available on the upcoming Galaxy Watch7 & Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Exynos W1000 is announced to use Samsung Foundry's 2nd generation 3nm process (possibly SF3). It is a powerful CPU with 5 cores including 1x Cortex-A78 and 4x Cortex-A55. Samsung claims the new CPU offers 2.7 times faster app launch times than the Exynos W930 and allows for faster app switching. Single-core performance is 3.4x faster, while multi-core performance is 3.7x faster.

It uses ARM's Mali-G68 MP2 GPU and can drive displays with resolutions up to 640 x 640 pixels. This chip also has 32GB of built-in memory. Samsung has used many new technologies to reduce its size and improve its performance and efficiency. The company has used fan-out panel-level packaging (FOLP) technology to improve power efficiency and heat dissipation.

It also has embedded RAM and storage on the same chip using embedded package-on-package (ePOP) technology. Samsung has also used system-in-package (SiP) technology to embed a power management integrated chip (PMIC) into the same package.

The Exynos W1000 also has Always On Display 2.5D (AoD) support to improve the watch face with greater detail and better colors in AoD mode. The chip also has Bluetooth LE for audio and LPDDR5 RAM for even more power savings. Its connectivity features include 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS and NFC.

According to some previous reports, Exynos W1000 will be used in Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra. Thanks to the newer technologies in the Exynos W1000, these upcoming Samsung smartwatches can last up to 2-3 days on a single charge.
