The newly announced Exynos 7 is 57 percent more powerful than the Exynos 5

Samsung just announced a new successor to the Exynos 5, the Exynos 7. According to Samsung, the new processor is 57 percent more powerful than its predecessor. The kicker here is that the older processor, the Exynos 5 5430 is powering one of the variants of the new Galaxy Note 4. However it looks the new processor will be doing the same.

According to Samsung’s web site, the Exynos 7 will be in one of the Note 4 variants. Most likely not in the US but at least somewhere in the world. The Exynos 7 Octa will come with four Cortex-A57 and A53 processors while also implementing the big.LITTLE HMP (Heterogeneous Multi Processing) architecture. Like its predecessor, the 7 is built using a 20nm manufacturing process. The processor also has an Advanced Multimedia Codec (MFC) for UHD video to TV output, built-in dual Image Signal Processors that will allow users to record high resolution video or take pictures using both the rear and front shooter at the same time (16MP at 30fps plus 5MP at 30fps), and an upgraded Mali T-760GPU that boasts a 74 percent in graphical performance. 

Of course we’re going to have to wait for a real world application to test out these performance increases but on paper the Exynos 7 Octa looks to be pretty awesome on paper. What do you think?
