Final month we instructed you that the Galaxy Watch 7 may function a 3nm chip which might make it the primary Samsung system to be powered by a chip produced utilizing the 3nm course of node. Based on the Korea Economic Daily (through TrendForce), this seems to be greater than a rumor though a number of the specifics have modified. Samsung Foundry will begin manufacturing utilizing its second-gen 3nm course of node in the course of the second half of the 12 months.
The primary 3nm chip to be produced by the foundry would be the Exynos W1000 software processor (AP) which can energy the Galaxy Watch 7. The timepiece is predicted to be launched in July. Final 12 months’s Galaxy Watch 6 featured a 5nm Exynos W930 SoC and final month’s report initially known as the 3nm chipset earmarked for the Galaxy Watch 7 the Exynos W940. Now, in fact, the chip will supposedly be known as the Exynos W1000.
The Google Watch 6 was powered by the 5nm Exynos W930 SoC
Based on sources, the Exynos W1000 will ship a 20% improve in efficiency and energy effectivity. As the method node quantity will get smaller, the scale of the transistors used with the chip reduces which permits extra of them to suit contained in the element. The next transistor depend will usually result in increased efficiency and/or extra energy effectivity.
The Exynos W1000 will assist the Galaxy Watch 7 compete in opposition to the Apple Watch Collection 9 on the subject of efficiency and battery life. The latter is powered by the S9 SiP (System in Bundle) AP which reportedly is analogous to the A16 SoC and is constructed on TSMC’s 4nm course of node. Samsung, with a 20% share of the worldwide smartwatch market as of Q3 of final 12 months, is making an attempt to shut the hole with Apple whose smartwatches maintain a number one 45% share of the worldwide smartwatch market.
Samsung is predicted to carry its subsequent Unpacked occasion on July tenth in Paris which is the place the Summer time Olympics might be held beginning July twenty sixth. Samsung hopes to make use of the media consideration that the Olympics get to advertise the brand new gadgets it is going to unveil on July tenth which ought to embrace the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, the Galaxy Ring, and the Galaxy Watch 7.
