Samsung unveiled its new truly powerful flagship mobile processor Samsung Exynos 2100 on 12th January 2021. In past years Samsung was lacking in performance and facing power consumption issues as compared to their rival Snapdragon.
Exynos is already the heart and soul of the billions of mobile devices around the world, and the Exynos 2100 makes it even better. It’s Samsung’s first flagship processor based on the 5nm EUV process. It uses an incredibly advance fine noded technology for exceptional performance, and efficient power consumption.

Exynos 2100 architecture
Exynos is built around eight powerful cores with a tri-cluster CPU architecture, including Arm’s powerful Cortex-X1 core running at 2.9 GHz, three high performing Cortex-A78 cores, and four power-efficient A55 cores.
The powerful Cortex-X1 core is customized for Exynos through the Cortex-X Custom program in close
collaboration with Arm. And for faster and more efficient operation, Samsung enhanced many of the key elements inside the chip, offering better cache memory, a stronger scheduler, and more efficient voltage control. The result proves to be 30% better performance than its predecessor.
