Samsung Exynos 1480 vs Allwinner A523 vs Samsung Exynos 1380

Samsung Exynos 1480

► remove from comparison Samsung Exynos 1480

The Samsung Exynos 1480 is a system on a chip (SoC) for mid-range smartphones and tablets based on Android. The CPU is made up of two clusters, each consisting of four cores. Four Cortex-A78 power cores (up to 2.75 GHz) and four Cortex-A55 power cores (up to 2.05 GHz) are used. The integrated graphics unit (GPU) is a Samsung Xclipse 530. The chipset supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Both LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 can be connected as RAM. UFS 3.1 is possible as internal memory.

The performance of the new AI engine with 6K MAC NPU is said to be around four times higher than its predecessor. In addition, displays with up to 144 Hz and Full HD+ can be used and cameras with up to 200 MPix are supported. The improved ISP now also enables videos in Ultra HD with up to 60 frames per second and is also capable of HDR and zero-shutter lag (ZSL).

The integrated modem has again received a significant speed boost for downloads and is considerably faster for both 5G-Sub6 (download: up to 5.1 GBit/s, upload: up to 1.28 GBit/s) and 5G-mmWave (download: up to 4.84 GBit/s, upload: up to 0.92 GBit/s), but remains unchanged for uploads since the Exynos 1280. There are no changes for LTE (Cat. 18, download: up to 1.2 GBit/s, upload up to 0.211 GBit/s).

The Exynos 1480 is manufactured by Samsung using the 4 nm process (Samsung 4LPP).

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.

Samsung Exynos 1380

► remove from comparison Samsung Exynos 1380

The Samsung Exynos 1380 is a system on a chip (SoC) designed for mid-range smartphones and tablets running on the Android operating system. The CPU is made up of two clusters, each consisting of four cores. It features four Cortex-A78 performance cores (up to 2.4 GHz) and four Cortex-A55 power-saving cores (up to 2.0 GHz). The integrated graphics unit is an ARM Mali-G68 MP5 with speeds of up to 950 MHz.

The NPU's performance has been improved by around 14 percent compared to its predecessor, with a capacity of 4.9 TOPS. Displays with up to 144 Hz and Full HD+ resolution can now be used, and the chipset supports cameras with up to 200 MPix. The chipset also includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. Both LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 can be used as RAM, and UFS 3.1 is possible as internal storage.

The integrated modem has significantly increased download speeds, supporting both 5G-Sub6 (download: up to 3.79 Gbps (+32%), upload: up to 1.28 Gbps) and 5G-mmWave (download: up to 3.67 Gbps (+75%), upload: up to 0.92 Gbps). The upload speed for LTE (Cat. 18, download: up to 1.2 Gbps, upload: up to 0.211 Gbps (+5%)) has only been slightly improved.

The Exynos 1380 is manufactured by Samsung using the 5-nm process.
