This is Samsung’s powerful and efficient Exynos 2100 processor

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, recently announced the Exynos 2100 through its first virtual event, Exynos On 2021. The new mobile processor is the company’s first premium 5G-integrated mobile processor built on the most advanced 5-nanometer extreme ultra-violet (EUV) process node.

“Our Exynos team has been committed to creating premium mobile computing experiences by bringing innovations to processors that are at the heart of today’s smart devices,” said Inyup Kang, President of System LSI Business at Samsung Electronics. “Today we are delighted to introduce the Exynos 2100, our most advanced mobile processor yet. Armed with powerful processing technologies and an advanced 5G modem on a power-efficient 5nm process node, Exynos 2100 will set a new standard for tomorrow’s flagship mobile devices.”

“At Samsung Electronics, we are dedicated to providing innovative technologies and services with our flagship devices to deliver the ultimate mobile experience to our customers,” said Kyeongjun Kim, Executive Vice President and head of Mobile R&D Office at Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “With powerful processing, fast 5G connectivity, and intelligent AI-acceleration, the Exynos 2100 offers the utmost performance that meets the stringent quality standards and requirements for our next generation smartphone.”

“The evolution of technologies such as 5G, advanced graphics, and machine learning have been critical in enabling new mobile experiences,” said Paul Williamson, Vice President and General Manager, Client Line of Business at Arm. “Arm and Samsung have collaborated closely to incorporate Arm’s powerful next-generation compute and graphics platform, at the heart of the Samsung Exynos 2100. As a result of our partnership, we are able to maximize performance and make these experiences a reality in next-generation mobile devices while delivering exceptional battery life.”

The chip’s computation and graphic processing performance have been improved and refined to surpass the power user’s performance expectations. As Samsung’s first 5G-integrated flagship mobile processor, the Exynos 2100 is built on an advanced 5nm EUV process technology that allows up to 20-percent lower power consumption or 10-percent higher overall performance than the 7nm predecessor. For further enhancement, the chip offers improved cache memory utilization and a stronger scheduler.

The octa-core CPU comes in an improved tri-cluster structure made up of a single powerful Arm Cortex-X1 core that runs at up to 2.9GHz, three high-performing Cortex-A78 cores, and four power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores delivering more than 30-percent enhancement in multi-core performance than the predecessor.

The Arm Mali-G78, which supports the latest APIs such as Vulkan and OpenCL, improves graphic performance by more than 40-percent for visually stunning and seamless graphics, enabling the most immersive on-screen mobile experiences yet, including gaming and AR/VR or MR(Mixed Reality). The Exynos 2100 also integrates advanced multi-IP governor (AMIGO) technology, which overlooks and optimizes power usages of CPU, GPU, and other processes, allowing longer use time even with intense on-screen activities. With such comprehensive efforts to increase the energy efficiency of its products across software and hardware technologies, Samsung also continues to help minimize the carbon footprint of tomorrow’s mobile devices.

AI capabilities will also enjoy a significant boost with the Exynos 2100. The newly-designed tri-core NPU has architectural enhancements such as minimizing unnecessary operations for high effective utilization and support for feature-map and weight compression. Exynos 2100 can perform up to 26-trillion-operations-per-second (TOPS) with more than twice the power efficiency than the previous generation.

With on-device AI processing and support for advanced neural networks, users will be able to enjoy more interactive and smart features as well as enhanced computer vision performance in applications such as imaging.

The Exynos 2100’s advanced image signal processor (ISP) supports camera resolutions of up to 200-megapixels. It can connect up to six individual sensors and is able to process four concurrently for richer multi-camera experiences. With a multi-camera and frame processor (MCFP), the ISP can combine feeds from multiple cameras to improve zoom performance, enhance image quality for ultra-wide shots, and more.

With AI acceleration, the ISP offers a content-aware feature that quickly and seamlessly recognizes scenes, faces and objects and optimally adjusts the camera settings to capture the image with fuller detail.

The Exynos 2100’s integrated 5G modem supports 5G’s sub-6GHz and mmWave spectrums from 2G GSM/CDMA, 3G WCDMA and 4G LTE, for strong network coverage and reliability. The modem delivers a maximum downlink speed of up to 5.1-gigabits per second (Gbps) in sub-6-gigahertz (GHz) and 7.35Gbps in mmWave, or up to 3.0Gbps in 4G networks with 1024 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) support.

The Exynos 2100 is currently in mass production.

Coronavirus: 5 quick tips for a mentally stronger you

06/06/2020

From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, not only did everyone face the fear of the virus, but it triggered worries and anxiety amongst us. In such unprecedented times, we face the threat of job loss, financial insecurity, liquidation of businesses, and even the loss of loved ones for some.

And since we all still have to carry on despite these trials, here are five tips to help you become mentally strong during this time of crisis.

Meditate

Calmness is an inside job. Most of our thoughts are filled with what we see, absorb, and choose to remember from our lives. Imagine the amount of load we have inside our minds accumulated through the many years of unpleasant memories and experiences.

This could potentially come down on us all of a sudden so this is where meditation comes in. We need to be able to purge these thoughts and quiet the mind for at least 20 minutes to an hour a day.

Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and collect all the unnecessary thoughts that bother you and toss them into an imaginary receptacle for disposal. It might sound non-realistic for some but it really helps to disassociate yourself from these things.

Breathe

Learning from the Navy SEALs who have one of the most difficult trainings in their profession, the 4 x 4 x 4 technique is advisable to do daily upon waking up or during instances when you feel stressed out.

Inhale for four seconds through the nose, hold it in for four seconds, exhale for four seconds, then hold your lungs empty for another four seconds before repeating from the start.

You can do this for five minutes or until you feel relaxed or refocused once again.

Turn adversity to opportunity

Consider looking at the situation from a different perspective. Reframe and see it differently from the aspect of either context or content.

This means you could take an active look at how you are interpreting external situations and see these “bad” events as a challenge for you. You could react to it by finding a way to improve it or improve yourself to react better towards it.

The point is to not let something negative consume you completely.

Practice gratefulness

Try to list down at least three things you are grateful for each day as acknowledging such things creates a virtuous circle of positivity.

It doesn’t have to be something grand. Small victories still keep one’s morale high — even if it’s just the fact that you have breakfast on the table is already something to be thankful about.

Set goals

Do not let your ambitions be crushed by external forces such as other people, your leaders, or even a worldwide pandemic. Continue to create your goals — whether long- or short-term. Plus, know what to accomplish each day and be determined not to quit more so when things get a bit challenging.

Final thoughts

We are indeed going through challenging times. Not just because of the pandemic, but also due to all the negative things happening in the world right now.

It’s easy to feel defeated and the urge to give up is just around the corner. But making it through this challenge can make us better and stronger than ever before. This is why we need to be reminded of how we can be mentally tougher through these simple things.

We are all in this together and we can get through this together as well.
