About this time last year, Samsung announced the Exynos 9610 – a 10nm chipset that actually belongs to the Exynos 7 series. The chipset powers the new Galaxy A50 and is expected to also power the Motorola One Vision. A new leak has revealed Samsung is working on a successor called the Exynos 9710.
According to Ice Universe, one of the top sources for Samsung-related leaks, the Exynos 9710 will be an 8nm chipset. It will have 8 cores – 4 x Cortex A76 cores clocked at 2.1GHz while the rest are Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.7GHz. This is a huge upgrade when compared to the Exynos 9610 which has 4 x A73 cores and 4 x A53 cores. So expect some serious processing power from this new chipset along with better power management.
For the GPU, the Exynos 9710 will have a Mali-G76 MP8 GPU clocked at 650MHz a boost from the 9610 which has a 2nd-gen Bifrost-based Mali G72 GPU. We expect the new chipset will also have a more powerful ISP that can handle more cameras with higher pixel resolutions.

There is no info on when the chipset will be launched, and even if it is soon, it might take a while before it appears in its first phone. At the moment, Samsung is adopting both its own Exynos processors and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon line for its smartphones. If the Exynos 9710 isn’t available anytime soon, trust Samsung to pick up other powerful processors from Qualcomm.
