► remove from comparison
The Samsung Exynos W920 is a dual-core ARM based SoC for IoT (Internet of Things) devices like smartwatches. It was announced in 2021 and integrates two ARM Cortex A55 cores clocked at 1.18 GHz. It is manufactured in the modern 5nm process. In addition to the CPU cores, the chip also integrates a ARM Mali-G68 MP2 GPU, Cat.4 (DL) / Cat.5 (UL) LTE modem, 1080p HEVC/H.264/VP8 video engine and a LPDDR4 memory controller.
Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 (or W5 Plus Gen 1) is a SoC for smartwatches and fitness trackers in the Wear series. It integrates a CPU with four ARM Cortex A53 cores and up to 1.7 GHz, an Adreno 702 GPU with up to 1GHz, a single channel (1x16) LPDDR4 2133 MHz memory controller, Bluetooth 5.3, WLAN 802.11n (2.4 and 5 GHz) and an LTE modem (Rel 13 with Cat1 support). The SoC (SW5100) is manufactured using a modern 4nm process. In contrast to the W5 (non Plus), the W5+ integrate an additional Always-On-Chip in 22nm (QCC5100 with a 250 MHz Cortex-M55 CPU).
