Samsung remains committed to its Exynos processors and has plans to come back even stronger next year with new chip introductions. The recent unveiling of the Exynos 2400 SoC, which features an RDNA 3 GPU, is a testament to this commitment. This new chip is designed to be the powerhouse for the forthcoming Galaxy S24 series and is poised to rival the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Alongside this, indications suggest that Samsung is also turning its attention to its mid-range offerings. Evidence of this emerged when the Exynos 1480 chip was spotted on Geekbench.

The Exynos 1480, identified by the model number S5E8845 on Geekbench, showcases an octa-core architecture. The chipset incorporates four efficiency cores with a clock speed of 2.05GHz and an equal number of performance cores set at 2.75GHz. This new Exynos chip will start at a base frequency of 2.05GHz. Moreover, it's anticipated to be combined with Samsung’s Xclipse 530 GPU, which may be modeled after AMD’s RDNA 2 graphics architecture.

Performance metrics from Geekbench highlight that the Exynos 1480 secured 882 points in the single-core test and 2808 points in the multi-core evaluation. While these scores might not seem groundbreaking, especially given that this chipset is projected to drive the Galaxy A55 - a top-tier mid-range smartphone - it's noteworthy when juxtaposed with its predecessor. For context, the Galaxy A54, powered by the Exynos 1380, achieved 776 points in a single-core assessment and 2599 points in a multi-core analysis.

Reports suggest that the Galaxy A55, equipped with the Exynos 1480, is currently in the testing phase. The smartphone's launch is anticipated in the upcoming year's first quarter, aligning with the release pattern of the Galaxy A54. Aside from the new chipset, changes to the upcoming model might be minimal.
