Samsung today announced that it has begun mass production of the Exynos 7 Dual 7270 which it says is the industry’s first mobile processor designed for wearable devices that is built on the 14-nanometer FinFET process technology. Samsung has been using the 14nm technology since 2015 for mobile processors meant for smartphones, it’s now bringing the benefits of this technology to wearable devices with the Exynos 7270. It’s the first wearable processor in its class to feature full connectivity and LTE modem integration.
“Designed on our state-of-the-art process technology, this AP offers great power savings, 4G LTE modem and full connectivity solution integration, as well as innovative packaging technology optimized for wearable devices. It is a ground-breaking solution that will greatly accelerate wider adoption of wearable devices by overcoming limitations in current solutions such as energy usage and design flexibility,” said Ben K. Hur, Vice President of System LSI Marketing at Samsung Electronics.
The Exynos 7270 is powered by two Cortex-A53 cores and it makes full use of the 14nm process. Samsung promises a 20 percent improvement in power efficiency when compared to its 28nm predecessor and notable extension in battery life. A Cat.4 LTE 2CA modem is integrated which will enable wearable devices to connect to cellular networks on their own. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also embedded alongside FM radio and location-based services with GNSS (global navigation satellite system).
Samsung’s SiP(system-in-package)-ePoP(embedded package-on-package) technology enables the Exynos 7270 to pack all of its performance into a compact solution that’s perfect for wearable devices. The application processor, DRAM and NAND flash memory chips and the power management iC are all together in the same package. We should expect to see devices powered by Samsung’s new wearable device processor early next year.
