Vivo and Samsung jointly released the new chip Exynos1080, which became the first commercial chip using ARM's latest A78 core, which won the title of the most powerful mobile chip in the Android market.
ARM released the most powerful A78 and X1 high-performance cores in history this year. It claims that the performance of A78 is 20% higher than A77, and X1 is 30% higher than A77.
At present, Android mobile phone chip companies basically use ARM's public version core, so the performance of Android mobile phone chips basically depends on whether they use ARM's latest public version core.
Among many Android mobile phone chip companies, Huawei is the first to release the latest high-end mobile phone chip Kirin 9000. This chip uses TSMC’s latest 5nm process. Unfortunately, it does not use ARM’s latest core A78, but uses The A77 core of the previous generation.
The Exynos1080 chip jointly developed by Samsung and vivo becomes the second high-end chip in the Android market. It is produced by Samsung with a 5nm process. Since it uses the latest version of ARM's A78 core, there is no doubt that it will surpass Huawei in terms of performance. The Kirin 9000 chip has become the most powerful commercial mobile phone chip in the Android market.
The reason for adding the attributive "Android market" is that the most powerful mobile chip market has always been Apple's A-series chips. This year, Apple's A14 chip is the most powerful mobile chip, although its performance is only better than the previous generation A13. An increase of about 16%, but because A13 leads the Android chip by about two generations, the A14 is still ahead of the Android chip.
Samsung has actively sought to cooperate with Chinese mobile phone companies in recent years. It has previously cooperated with Meizu, but Meizu’s influence is weak after all and cannot help Samsung open the market. Vivo is one of the top four domestic mobile phones. The cooperation with vivo has Help Samsung to open up the situation in the Chinese mobile phone chip market.
It is said that with the cooperation between vivo and Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, etc. also intend to adopt Samsung chips. These Chinese mobile phone companies do not want to rely too much on Qualcomm. They have always cooperated with MediaTek, but MediaTek’s chip performance is not strong enough, and MediaTek’s brand reputation has always been poor, while Samsung’s chips have the ability to compete with Qualcomm. Therefore, Chinese mobile phone companies hope to further ensure the supply of chips through cooperation with Samsung.
