Succession

Exynos Mongoose 2 (M2) is the successor to the Mongoose 1, a 10 nm ARM microarchitecture designed by Samsung for their consumer electronics.

Process Technology[edit]

M2 was fabricated on Samsung's first generation 10LPE (Low Power Early) process.

Compiler support[edit]

Compiler Arch-Specific Arch-Favorable
GCC -mcpu=exynos-m1 -mtune=exynos-m1
