Samsung unveils Exynos W1000 chipset ahead of Galaxy Watch7 and Watch Ultra launch
Samsung has finally unwrapped the Exynos W1000 chip just a week ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 10. The newly announced wearable chipset is purportedly going to equip the highly-anticipated Galaxy Watch7 and Watch Ultra.
The Exynos W1000 is fabricated using advanced 3nm technology, and it comes with a powerful 5-core CPU configuration. At the forefront of processing performance is a Cortex-A78 core speed at 1.6GHz, and it has four Cortex-A55 cores with up to 1.5GHz frequencies. According to Samsung, there are major performance boosts in app launch times, which are 2.7 times faster, with single-core performance shining through 3.4 times better, and multicore operations sped up by 3.7 times.
At the center of its architecture lies the integration of a Mali-G68 MP2 GPU, designed for high-resolution qHD (960 × 540 pixels) displays that find an ideal match in the oversized screens of the Galaxy Watch Ultra. In this regard, Samsung, through FO-PLP, or Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging, will enhance its capabilities for better heat dissipation. This is instrumental in compact wearable devices for sustained peak performance.
On the efficiency front, Exynos W1000 is built with SiP integration, which continues to drive power management into the system. It also uses ePoP technology for the smooth integration of DRAM and NAND flash memory components into the chipset, bringing forth a minuscule area.
Samsung prides itself in presenting Exynos W1000 for a richer user experience, powered with advanced features such as the 2.5D always-on display, enriching watch face details, and vibrant color rendering. In addition, there are several connectivity options such as Bluetooth LE, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, and NFC, enabling users with seamless connectivity and effortless payment capabilities. Notably, this new chipset also supports up to 32GB of integrated eMMC storage, which is said to perfectly match the leakage of the Galaxy Watch7 series.
The Exynos W1000 ensures a flagship-grade improvements in performance and efficiency, up to 2–3 days of battery life, and thereby signal a new standard in smartwatch longevity and user satisfaction.
