Foreign media SAMMOBILE reported that Samsung today released a new Exynos processor-Exynos W920, which is tailored for wearable devices. It is the successor to the Exynos 9110 chip released with the original Galaxy Watch three years ago. Exynos W920 will debut in Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic tomorrow. While saving more power than the previous generation, the new Exynos W920 chip guarantees faster performance.

Exynos W920 is manufactured using Samsung's latest 5nm process. It has two ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores and ARM Mali-G68 GPU. Samsung claims that its new wearable chipset is 20% faster than Exynos 9110 in CPU tests and provides graphics performance up to 10 times faster. Exynos W920’s GPU can handle displays up to qHD resolution (960 x 540 pixels).

This new Exynos processor uses the smallest package in the field of wearable devices-fan-out panel level packaging (FO-LP). It includes Exynos W920, power management chip, LPDDR4 memory and eMMC stored in the same package to effectively utilize the physical space in the wearable device. This allows smart watches to use the space saved to load larger batteries.

The chipset also has a dedicated low-power Cortex-M55 display processor for processing AoD (always-on display) tasks. This reduces the overall power consumption of wearable devices using the Exynos W920 chip. It also integrates GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), 4G LTE modem, Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 5.0. Of course, it supports the Wear OS system jointly developed by Google and Samsung.

Samsung Electronics stated: “Wearable devices like smart watches are no longer just cool gadgets. They are now an increasingly important part of our lifestyle, keeping you healthy, safe and vigilant. With Exynos W920, the future The wearable device will be able to run applications with a visually appealing user interface UI and a more sensitive user experience, while keeping you connected on the go through fast LTE."
