CTOnews.com July 27 news, last night, Samsung released the latest smart watches at the Galaxy Unpacked event-Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. In addition to a slimmer design, brighter screen and more powerful health tracking features, the two smartwatches also feature a more powerful processor, the Exynos W930 chip Samsung officially announced today.

CTOnews.com notes that Samsung only briefly mentioned the new chip at the Galaxy Unpacked event, while Samsung Semiconductor revealed more details on its website. Exynos W930 is a chip manufactured on a 5nm process with a dual-core Cortex-A55 CPU clocked at up to 1.4GHz. Compared with the Exynos W920 chip released last year, the main frequency has increased by 200MHz, and the official performance has increased by 18%. However, it is unclear whether this chip uses the latest generation of advanced 5nm process, or is the same as Exynos W920.

The Exynos W930 chip also features an ARM Mali-G68 MP2 GPU that supports the highest qHD resolution screens and video playback up to 21fps. Samsung said the chip integrates CPU, GPU, 2GB LPDDR4 RAM, 16GB eMMC storage and power management IC into a single package, reducing the space occupied by these components in the smartwatch. Samsung uses FO-PLP (Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging) and SiP-ePoP (System-in-Package-embedded Package on Package) packaging technologies to achieve this goal. However, these technologies are also used in the Exynos W920 chip, so it is speculated that the Exynos W930 chip is just an upgraded version of the Exynos W920 chip, which improves the memory capacity and frequency.

Exynos W930 chip also has built-in GNSS (Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS and GPS), 4G LTE modem, dual-band Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC functions. In addition, the Exynos W930 chip also has a separate dual-core Cortex-A55 chip as CHUB (Context Hub), which is used to perform low-power tasks, which is more than AOD (Always-On Display).

Based on Samsung's past practice, the new chip could also be used in next year's next-generation smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 7. In other words, Samsung may use essentially the same chip for four years in a row. However, this is not much different from Apple's approach. Apple's S6, S7 and S8 chips are essentially the same processor, but there are some minor differences. Apple's chips, however, clock at a much higher frequency.
