Samsung has debuted a new mobile application processor dubbed the Exynos 5430. The 5430 falls in the Exynos 5 Octa family and uses a big.LITTLE chip configuration. The processor has two banks of four chips each. One bank uses four ARM Cortex A15s at 1.8GHz for intense calculations, and the other bank uses for ARM Cortex A7s at 1.3GHz for low-power tasks. Samsung said the Exynos 5430 is its first mobile processor built using 20nm low-power High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) process technology. Samsung claims this delivers a boost in performance while also reducing power consumption needs by 25% compared to its 28nm chips. The 5430 is capable of powering WQHD (2560 x 1440) and WQXGA (2560 x 1600) displays, as well as supporting a range of high-definition media capture and playback capabilities. The Exynos 5430 will first appear in the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, which is expected to ship in September.
