Samsung's new flagship SoC unveiled - Exynos 9810 (Based on 10nm FinFET Process)

SAMSUNG has unveiled its new flash-ship mobile SoC in the 9 Series (9810) built on the 10nm FionFET process.  This launch implies that the Samsung's upcoming flagship smartphones viz Galaxy S9 series and Note 8 would be powered by this 9810 SoC.

The Exynos 9 series is said to be the Samsung's first SoC built on 10nm FinFET process technology. The Exynos 9810 is the second-generation SoC in the Exynos 9 series and the first with 3rd-generation custom CPU cores. This SoC will have a Gigabit LTE Cat, 18 modems with support for 6CA aggregation (This SoC is capable of combining six carrier signals for speeds up to 1.2Gbps), and will be manufactured on a 2nd generation 10nm process.

The Exynos 9810 SoC will also have an upgraded GPU, expected to use Mali GPU much like previous processors. Presumably, Samsung will be upgrading to the Mali-G72 GPU. 

Although Samsung has not furnished complete details about this third-gen SoC, the company is still sticking with a fully custom design which leaves Samsung as the only Android SoC maker opting fully custom route.   

Qualcomm switched to a semi-custom design with Kyro which means Apple and Samsung are only using ARM's architecture to design their own chipsets.
