Samsung Galaxy S7 On Release Date Will Deliver Double The Performance Than The Galaxy S6 As It Will Be Powered With Monstrous Chipset

The Galaxy S6 and its dual edge screen variant, the Galaxy S6 Edge was released recently. Even when Samsung fans are busy in laying their hands on the newly released Galaxy S6 devices, rumours about the Galaxy S7 have already started. The Galaxy S7 is speculated to feature home-baked Exynos SoC with custom processor cores.

Phone Arena states that it was at the beginning of this month that Samsung has decided to stop using the stock ARM cores. According to Kit Guru, Samsung is working on custom processor cores that are codenamed as Mongoose. It is said to be featuring ARMv8 architecture. Samsung has been known to be developing it since 2011. At present, the South Korean tech giant has started with full-blow testing of its forthcoming chipset.

Phone Arena adds that the custom CPU core has reached a max processing speed of 2.3 GHz on testing. Also, early benchmark reports states that the single core performance is 45 percent higher than that of Exynos 7420 that fires up the all new Galaxy S6. In other words, the new processor is expected to deliver double the performance of the existing Exynos chipset.

Kit Guru claims that the newly released ARM cores development tools is offering support for Samsung Exynos M1 core that is also referred with the Mongoose codename. This is a clear indication that Samsung is deeply testing the new CPU cores and its software development partners are ready to test it.

According to Phone Arena, now that Samsung also already started considerable testing of its new chipset, it is likely that the Galaxy S6 successor will come loaded with it. Samsung is speculated to begin the mass production of the nine to twelve months from now. If Samsung adheres to this plan, the Galaxy S7 will arrive on its anticipated release period of March and April along powered with the new chipset.

As of this writing, nothing has been confirmed by Samsung on the successor model for the Galaxy S7. Also, it is not known whether Samsung will release a dual edge variant like the Galaxy S6 Edge for the Galaxy S7.
