CPU

Superior Performance for
Seamless Multi-tasking
Featuring a 4th generation custom CPU, the Exynos 9820’s innovative tri-cluster architecture delivers premium processing power. The CPU consists of two custom cores for ultimate processing power, two Cortex-A75 cores for optimal performance, and four Cortex-A55 cores for greater efficiency, resulting in superior performance that lasts. Tri-cluster with intelligent task scheduler boosts multi-core performance by 15 percent when compared to the Exynos 9810, while the 4th generation custom CPU with enhanced memory access capability and cutting-edge architecture design improves single core performance by up to 20 percent or boosts power efficiency by up to 40 percent.1
