Exynos 1580: Samsung Galaxy A56's SoC makes Geekbench debut with new Xclipse GPU and 17% faster CPU performance

Samsung's new mid-range SoC, the Exynos 1580, has shown up on Geekbench. Its 's5e8855' motherboard confirms it succeeds the Exynos 1480 (s5e8845). The listing highlights a new CPU core layout and runs Android 15. Unfortunately, the smartphone isn't mentioned by name but one can reasonably assume it to be the Galaxy A56.

The Exynos 1580 scores 1,046 and  3,678 points in Geekbench 5.5's single and multi-core tests. Our benchmark database says the Galaxy A55's Exynos 1480 scored 891 and 3,349 in the same test. In essence, the Exynos 1580 offers a 17% and 9% improvement in single and multi-core performance, respectively. Plus, the actual uplift could be might higher with subsequent firmware updates.

As mentioned earlier, the Exynos 1580 comes with one prime CPU core clocked at 2.91 GHz, three at 2.60 GHz and four at 1.95 GHz. The listing doesn't specify the exact generation but we can assume the Cortex-A720 to act as performance cores and Cortex-A520 as efficiency cores. Geekbench's back end code confirms the Exynos 1580 will come with an AMD Radeon-based Xclipse 540 GPU, whose exact specs are unknown at this time.
