Final week we noticed a Geekbench run from the Galaxy A55’s SoC, but it surely wasn’t in the Galaxy A55 – it was utilizing some sort of take a look at platform. In the present day, that adjustments, as a prototype of the A55 itself has additionally made it onto Geekbench, and this confirms the attention-grabbing GPU alternative Samsung’s made.
The A55’s chipset is broadly believed to be marketed as Exynos 1480, following, in fact, within the footsteps of the 1380 seen within the A54 and the 1280 within the A53. Not like these, nonetheless, the brand new one will not use a Mali GPU, as a substitute choosing an AMD RDNA2-based Xclipse 530 GPU, which has been confirmed by in the present day’s benchmark run.
This theoretically might even have the power to supply raytracing in video games. That does not imply it would, nonetheless, so do not get your hopes up an excessive amount of. Nonetheless, that is prone to be a beefier GPU than what the A5x line has gotten up to now, which is an efficient step in the suitable path. Over on the CPU facet, the enhancements in comparison with the Exynos 1380 do exist, however they don’t seem to be wonderful – a single-core rating of 1,127 and a multi-core rating of two,090 is what the A55 managed, whereas the A54 scores about 1,108 and a pair of,797, respectively.
So if you happen to had hoped the A55 would lastly be an enormous leap for CPU efficiency in Samsung’s best-selling line of smartphones, that hope must be postponed for an additional 12 months at the least.
The prototype that ran Geekbench had 8GB of RAM on board, which was the utmost quantity you could possibly get the A54 with. In response to earlier rumors, the Galaxy A55 can have a 6.5-inch FHD+ 120 Hz OLED display screen, a 50 MP essential digicam, and help for 25W wired charging (with no charger within the field, in fact).
