If you’re feverishly watching all the information, rumors, images about the Galaxy S7, you must have heard about this processor with the unremarkable name of “Mongoose” or mongoose in French. This is the code name of the new SoC developed by Samsung, and new benchmarks once again demonstrate the power of the small animal.
In The Jungle Book (the book, not the cartoon), the mongoose trumps the mighty snake; could this electronic version of the animal prevail over the next (Snap)dragon 820 from Qualcomm? Nothing is less certain at the moment, but in any case, the Exynos M1 (that’s also its name) sets the bar pretty high.
We don’t really know the processor model with this code name yet, but tracks have been eyeing the Exynos 8890 for several weeks, but nothing has been confirmed yet. All we know is that the Korean manufacturer is only improving the performance of the SoC day by day.
According to an image recently posted on Weibo, the Exynos M1 is currently being rated at a clock speed of 2.3 GHz, the maximum speed announced. There, the chip achieved a score of 2294 points in single-core and 6908 in multi-core. It was also tested in energy-saving mode for which the chip achieved 1710 and 4896 points, and then in Ultra Power Saving Mode where it scored 1100 and 3209 points.
Comparing it with the previous GeekBench test presenting for the first time the supposed Exynos 8890, you don’t have to be an expert to see that the power of the processor has punctured the ceiling and should continue as Samsung continues testing and optimization on it.
By comparison, the A9 processor also produced by Samsung (for Apple), considered one of the fastest current ones achieves 2,487 and 4,330 points in single and multi-core. A particularly promising mongoose as it is still in development. It will be even better optimized when it is integrated into commercial smartphones.
