Samsung Exynos 1280 vs Samsung Exynos 9609
Samsung Exynos 1280
► remove from comparison
The Samsung Exynos 1280 is a midrange system on a chip (SoC) for smartphones and tablets. It was announced in early 2022 and is used in the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G. The CPU part integrates two clusters, a performance cluster with two ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.4 GHz and an efficiency cluster with six small ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz. The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4x.
Furthermore, the chip integrates an ISP for cameras with up to 108 MPixel. The integrated ARM Mali G68 MC4 supports displays with up to 1080p and 120Hz.
One of the main features is the integrated 5G modem that supports Sub-6GHz (2550/1280 Mbps), mmWave (1840/920 Mbps), and LTE Cat 18 (1200/200 Mbps). WiFi 5 is the highest supported standard, as is Bluetooth 5.2.
The SoC is manufactured in the modern 5nm process at Samsung.
Samsung Exynos 9609
► remove from comparison
The Samsung Exynos 9609 (or Exynos 7 Series 9609) is a mid-range SoC for Android based smartphones and tablets. It integrates 8 processor cores in two clusters (big.LITTLE concept). Four ARM Cortex A73 cores at up to 2.2 GHz for demanding tasks and four ARM Cortex A53 at up to 1.6 GHz for power efficiency. Compared to the older Exynos 9610, the 9609 offers 100 MHz less clock speed for both clusters.
The integrated LTE modem supports 4G at up to 600 Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload. Furthermore, 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 are also integrated in the chip.
The on-board ARM Mali-G72 MP3 graphics card offers three clusters and support for Vulkan, DirectX 12 and OpenGL ES 3.2.
The Exynos 9609 is manufactured in the modern 10nm FinFET process and therefore relatively power efficient and also suited for smaller smartphones.
