Exynos is a family of performance 32-bit and 64-bit ARM processors introduced by Samsung for the mobile market.

Overview

Samsung introduced the Exynos family of performance processors in 2010 as the successor to the S5 family. Previous Samsung processors were primarily designed for the low-power embedded market as opposed to high performance mobile devices. Initial processors (e.g., 3110) found their way to many of Samsung's early smartphones (e.g., Galaxy S) and tablets (Galaxy Tab). Samsung expanded the family over the years to support multiple cores and more powerful processors which have found their way to 100s of devices.

Until late 2016, Samsung was using cores developed by ARM Holdings for their processors. With the introduction of the Exynos 8 and 9 series, Samsung started developing their own microarchitectures with more powerful cores in an attempt to better compete against other high-end processors (e.g., Ax).

Models

Exynos 3

Exynos 3 series-based SoCs were introduced starting in 2010. The first part (3110) was only renamed Exynos in 2011. All Exynos 3 were based on the ARMv7 ISA and were either a single-core or a quad-core.
