The Exynos 9610 supports deep learning-based
visual processing and 480 fps slow-motion recording
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced
semiconductor technology, today announced the availability of its
latest application processor (AP), the Exynos 7 Series 9610. The
Exynos 9610, built on Samsung’s 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process,
elevates the multimedia experience in high-end smartphones with
premium-level features such as deep learning-based image processing
for ultimate picture-taking experiences and stunning slow motion
video recording at 480 frames per second (fps).

“The Exynos 7 Series 9610 is our latest mobile processor that
delivers on added power and speed,” said Ben Hur, vice president of
System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics. “But more importantly,
it sets a new performance standard for high-end devices with its
deep learning vision-image processing solution and slow motion
video capabilities that change the way we engage with our mobile
devices.”
For more enriched photo-taking and filming experiences, the
Exynos 9610 delivers a major boost in multimedia performance.
Vision and image processing is now coupled with a neural network
engine for more intelligently enhanced face detection, as well as
single camera out-focusing and augmented low-light images. The
advanced face detection feature enables the camera to recognize
faces that are either not facing forward or partially covered with
objects like hair or a hat. With smart depth sensing, bokeh or
out-focused portraits can be taken with a single camera. Through
cleverly merging multiple frames, vision and image processing
enhances the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and brightness that can
improve pictures taken in low-light environments.
The Exynos 9610 also allows for 480fps slow-motion support in
full HD. Even while using a conventional two-stack image sensor,
the Exynos 9610 is able to encode slow-motion video, thanks to its
image signal processor (ISP) with improved performance by 1.6 times
and more-than-doubled mobile industry processor interface (MIPI)
interface speed. In addition, the processor uses a premium
multi-format codec (MFC) that allows encoding and decoding up to 4K
120fps.
With its powerful CPU and GPU, the Exynos 9610 provides smooth
mobile computing and gaming performances that meet the needs of
today’s high-end smartphones .The CPU is comprised of four
Cortex-A73 cores running at 2.3 gigahertz (GHz), and four 1.6GHz
Cortex-A53 cores to load apps quickly and run multiple tasks
simultaneously. The GPU is a second-generation Bifrost-based ARM
Mali-G72 that can bring more realistic and immersive graphics on
mobile devices.
Always-on sensing applications that require instant feedback,
such as gesture recognition or context awareness, are enabled by an
embedded Cortex-M4F-based low-power sensor hub, which efficiently
manages the sensors in real-time without waking the main
processor.
For always connected and seamless mobile broadband connection,
the embedded all-network LTE modem supports Cat.12 3CA (carrier
aggregation) at 600 megabits per second (Mbps) for downlink and
Cat.13 2CA at 150Mbps for uplink. The processor is also packed with
wireless communication technologies such as high-throughput
802.11ac 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi, faster and longer range Bluetooth 5.0, and
FM for radio. In addition, for global location positioning
coverage, it embeds a 4-mode Global Navigation Satellite System
(GNSS) receiver that includes GPS (Global Positioning System),
GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo.
The Exynos 7 Series 9610 is expected to be mass produced in the
second half of this year.
