A while ago, we saw the first results from Samsung’s new mid-segment chipset, Exynos 1580. Now, a new benchmark series has emerged for the Samsung Galaxy A56 model, which is one of the important devices where this new chip will be used.
As expected, the model number of the phone is called SM-A566B and the chipset is called S5E8855.
The Exynos 1580 has an octa-core CPU: 1x main core clocked at 2.91GHz, 3x mid core clocked at 2.60GHz, and four minor cores clocked at 1.95GHz. We don’t know exactly what these cores are yet, but Samsung has rebalanced the 4x A78 cores (2.75GHz) and 4x A55 cores (2.0GHz) it used in the Exynos 1480.
The main core in the new chip aims to increase single-core performance by running at a higher clock speed. This core may even be different from the three middle cores.
Geekbench also noted the GPU codenamed “Angle.” This GPU is called Xclipse 540. Last year’s chipset used AMD’s RDNA 2-based Xclipse 530 (“Titan”) GPU. There is a high probability that the new chip will be updated to RDNA 3 architecture like the Xclipse 940 inside the Exynos 2400.
When will Samsung Galaxy A56 be introduced?
Samsung Galaxy A56 was tested with 8 GB RAM, but this information is not very important because the Galaxy A55 offered 6 GB, 8 GB and even 12 GB RAM options. What was more interesting was that the phone worked with Android 15. For example, the recently released Galaxy S24 FE came with Android 14 and used the lower-performance Exynos 2400e chip.
By the way, it’s too early to look at benchmark results; The chipset has already been improved since the first benchmark results appeared, and there’s still some time before Samsung announces the Galaxy A56. Judging by the Galaxy A55, A54 and A53 models, the launch is expected to take place in mid-March.
