Samsung is about to announce several new products including the Galaxy Watch 7 series, sixth generation foldable, and redesigned Galaxy Buds 3 series. Ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung has announced a new Exynos chip, that is expected to power the Galaxy Watch 7 series.

The Exynos W1000 chip is much more capable than the predecessor

The Exynos W1000 is built on Samsung’s 3nm GAA process and the chipset brings a 3.7x faster multi-core performance and 3.4x faster single-core performance. The company claims that the new chip will launch apps 2.7x faster and will also switch between them smoothly as compared to the predecessor.

It is also reported that the Exynos W1000 will be more power efficient as compared to the Galaxy Watch 6 series’ 5nm-based Exynos W930 chipset. According to the company, “the Exynos W1000 redefines expectations of how often you have to charge your smartwatch.”

The newly announced Exynos W1000 equips a total of 5 CPU cores – 1 x Cortex-A78 clocked at 1.6GHz and 4 x Cortex-A55 clocked at 1.5GHz. This is paired with Mali-G68 MP2 GPU, which supports up to qHD (960×540) and 640×640 resolution displays. This chipset can utilize up to 32GB of eMMC storage and LPDDR5 memory. The chip uses the Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging (FO-PLP) for better heat dissipation and smaller size. For reference, the Exynos W930 chip comes with a dual-core 1.4GHz Cortex-A55 CPU.

Besides getting more capable, the new chipset is also smaller in size, which allows the Watch 7 series to secure more space for your battery. The higher battery capacity paired with the lower power consumption should result in a longer battery life for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series. The new chip also packs a 2.5D always-on display (AOD) engine, that enables “an enhanced display and watch faces with rich details.” Elements of the AOD user interface become clearer and easier to grasp at a glance with this development.
