Early this morning Korea time, Samsung LSI announced their newest generation flagship SoC, the Exynos 9820.

The Exynos 9820 succeeds this year’s Exynos 9810, which we’ve covered extensively both in our review of the Galaxy S9, as well investigated in separate pieces, ending with an official microarchitectural disclosure of the M3 core at HotChip 2018.

The Exynos 9810 was not a very successful chip, as the M3 microarchitecture as well as the implementation had some severe flaws, with actual devices based on the chip largely lagging behind their Snapdragon counter-parts, having to sacrifice a lot of performance in order to keep up with battery efficiency, and even then, failing to do so most of the time.
