Samsung Exynos 1280 vs Allwinner A523

Samsung Exynos 1280

► remove from comparison Samsung Exynos 1280

The Samsung Exynos 1280 is a midrange system on a chip (SoC) for smartphones and tablets. It was announced in early 2022 and is used in the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G. The CPU part integrates two clusters, a performance cluster with two ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.4 GHz and an efficiency cluster with six small ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz. The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4x.

Furthermore, the chip integrates an ISP for cameras with up to 108 MPixel. The integrated ARM Mali G68 MC4 supports displays with up to 1080p and 120Hz.

One of the main features is the integrated 5G modem that supports Sub-6GHz (2550/1280 Mbps), mmWave (1840/920 Mbps), and LTE Cat 18 (1200/200 Mbps). WiFi 5 is the highest supported standard, as is Bluetooth 5.2.

The SoC is manufactured in the modern 5nm process at Samsung.

Allwinner A523

► remove from comparison A523

The Allwinner A523 is a very affordable ARM-based SoC for smartphones and tablets. The eight-core processor presented in 2023 consists of two quad-core clusters, each made up of 4 Cortex-A55 cores.

The faster quad cluster operates at a clock frequency of up to 1.8 GHz and offers 128 KB L2 cache per A55 core, while the second cluster clocks at up to 1.4 GHz and only offers 64 KB L2 cache per core.

In another version of the Allwinner A523, the first quad cluster clocks at up to 2.0 GHz. The ARM Mali-G57 MC1 is used as the graphics unit, which supports OpenGL 3.2, Vulkan 1.0 and OpenCL 2.0. A XuanTie E906 RISC-V PMU is also integrated.

The Allwinner SoC can control up to 4 GB DDR3/DDR4/LPDDR2/LPDDR3/LPDDR4/LPDDR4X RAM and eMMC 5.1 flash memory. In addition to PCIe 2.1, USB 3.1 Gen. 1 and Gigabit Ethernet are also supported as interfaces. There is also an H264/H265 video decoder (up to 4K at 60 frames per second) and an H264 encoder (up to 4K at 25 frames per second).

The Allwinner A523 is manufactured with a 22 nm structure width.
