Some time again we noticed the first outcomes from what must be the Exynos 1580, Samsung’s subsequent mid-range chipset. Now now we have a brand new batch of outcomes coming from one of many key units the place the brand new chip might be used – the Samsung Galaxy A56.
Predictably, the telephone has a mannequin quantity SM-A566B, whereas the chipset goes underneath S5E8855.
Samsung Galaxy A56 (SM-A566B) scorecard from Geekbench 6.2.2
The Exynos 1580 has eight CPU cores: 1x prime core at 2.91GHz, 3x mid-cores at 2.60GHz and 4 small cores at 1.95GHz. We don’t truly know what these cores are but, however Samsung has rebalanced issues for the reason that Exynos 1480, which had 4x A78 cores @ 2.75GHz and 4x A55 @ 2.0GHz.
The prime core within the upcoming chip runs at the next clock velocity, focusing on increased single-core efficiency. It would even be a distinct core in comparison with the three mid cores.
Geekbench additionally recorded the GPU – code-named “Angle”, it’s the Xclipse 540. Final 12 months’s chip had a earlier era Xclipse 530 (“Titan”), which was primarily based on AMD’s RDNA 2. There’s a great likelihood that the brand new chip might be upgraded to the newer RDNA 3 structure for the reason that different x40 era GPU, the Xclipse 940 contained in the Exynos 2400, makes use of precisely that.
As for the Samsung Galaxy A56, it was configured with 8GB of RAM, however that doesn’t imply a lot – the A55 had 6GB, 8GB and even 12GB choices. Extra attention-grabbing is that the telephone ran Android 15, not like, say, the Galaxy S24 FE, which got here out with Android 14 (and a decrease efficiency Exynos 2400e chip).
By the way in which, it’s too early to take a look at the rating outcomes – the chip already improved for the reason that first benchmark was noticed and there may be loads of time earlier than Samsung unveils the Galaxy A56. Judging by the A55, A54 and A53 releases, it will occur in mid-March.
