Apple leads competition on 64-bit-supported processor with its latest iPhone 5S and, as expected, Samsung will fight it using Galaxy S5. New reports suggested that the upcoming Galaxy S smartphone is going to be powered by Exynos Infinity quad-core 64-bit processor chipset. Would it be better compared to Galaxy S4 Exynos 5 octa-core?

New Exynos Infinity

A teaser poster on SamMobile revealed Samsung's upcoming processor Exynos Infinity and, according to its sources, it is innovative compared to the set of processors powering Galaxy S4.

For quite some time, rumours called it Exynos 6 and now formally known as Infinity which expected to be announced during the Unpacked event of Samsung at the Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona, Spain, with probability of Samsung Galaxy S5 to demonstrate its power.

Moreover, other variants of the Galaxy S5 may also be powered by this new Exynos processor and a possibility to power the United States variant which is normally supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. So we can assume that the Galaxy S5 Active, Zoom or other versions are equipped with 64-bit-processing power. However, it is not confirmed yet if the Galaxy S5 Mini will have Exynos Infinity inside.

Exynos Infinity vs. Exynos 5 Octa

Samsung Galaxy S4 is powered by Exynos 5 5410 octa-core processors which caused some troubling hardware problems including intense overheating crisis around the display and camera lens.

Exynos Infinity dubbed as GH7 has 64-bit support and composed of four cores instead of eight which reduces several downsides but makes performance twice better than the previous.

Below are the upsides of using Exynos Infinity compared to Exynos 5 octa:

1. Performs twice as better due to 64-bit support

2. Quad-core minimises power consumption than octa-core

3. Less amount of cores help defuse heat faster

4. Lesser heat generation means less power drain

5. More apps requiring 64-bit support can now be used

6. Samsung can use 4 GB or bigger RAM chip due to 64-bit support

7. Camera processing is also affected by increased performance

8. More data via the Internet are processed faster than before

9. Overall read and write speeds on the internal and external storages increase

10. Graphics rendering won't be as tacky as with Exynos 5.

In addition to the advantages of Exynos Infinity, it also matches the ideal 5.2-inch display of the Galaxy S5 which is expected to demand more graphics rendering due Quad HD resolution, more processing using new TouchWiz UI and more stability on launching exclusive Galaxy S apps and better 4G /LTE handling.
