`Seoul, Korea – Feb. 23, 2017 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor
`technology, today announced the launch of its latest premium application processor (AP), the Exynos 9
`Series 8895. This is Samsung’s first processor chipset to take advantage of the most advanced and industry
`leading 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process technology with improved 3D transistor structure, which allows
`up to 27% higher performance while consuming 40% less power when compared to 14nm technology.
`
`The new Exynos 9 Series 8895 is the first processor of its kind to embed a gigabit LTE modem that supports
`five carrier aggregation, or 5CA. It delivers fast and stable data throughput at max.1Gbps (Cat.16) downlink
`with 5CA and 150Mbps (Cat.13) uplink with 2CA.
`
`The Exynos 8895 is an octa-core processor, comprising of four of Samsung’s 2nd generation custom
`designed CPU cores for improved performance and power efficiency in addition to four Cortex®-A53 cores.
`With Samsung Coherent Interconnect (SCI) technology, the latest processor integrates a heterogeneous
`system architecture that allows faster computing for a wide range of applications such as artificial intelligence,
`and deep learning.
`
`The Exynos 8895 also delivers unsurpassed multimedia experience with its powerful GPU and multi-format
`codec (MFC) as well as next level 3D graphic performance that minimizes latency for 4K UHD VR and
`gaming experience with ARM®’s latest Mali™-G71 GPU.
`
`In addition, with its advanced MFC, the processor supports video recording and playback at a maximum
`resolution of 4K UHD at 120fps. It also comes with video processing technology that enables a higher quality
`experience by enhancing the image quality; for example, for VR (Virtual Reality) applications, the Exynos
`8895 delivers a realistic and immersive VR video experience at 4K resolution.
`
`The Exynos 8895 has a separate processing unit for enhanced security solutions required for mobile
`payments that use iris or fingerprint recognition as well as an embedded Vision Processing Unit (VPU) that
`can recognize and analyze items or movements for improved video tracking, panoramic image processing,
`and machine vision technology.
`
`“In addition to being built on the most advanced 10nm FinFET process technology, the new Exynos 9 Series
`8895 incorporates Samsung’s cutting-edge technologies including a 2nd generation custom CPU, gigabit LTE
`modem, and more” said Ben Hur, Vice President of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics. “With
`industry leading technologies like VPU, the Exynos 8895 will drive the innovation of next generation
`smartphones, VR headsets, and automotive infotainment system.”
`
`The Exynos 9 Series 8895 is currently in mass production.
