The newly announced Exynos 5300 5G modem is Samsung Semiconductor’s most recent 5G modem. The Sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G-capable modem supports both SA (standalone) and NSA (non-standalone) 5G networks and offers download speeds of up to 10Gbps and upload speeds of 3.87 Gbps.
The Samsung Foundry’s 4nm EUV process is used to fabricate the Exynos 5300 5G modem, which should result in increased power efficiency and, consequently, extended battery life. The built-in PCle interface of the new modem allows it to connect to a variety of chipsets and supports the most recent 3GPP 5G NR Release 16 standard.
The new Exynos 5300 5G modem hasn’t been officially confirmed, but rumors suggest that it will be included in the Pixel 8 series on Google’s Tensor 3 chipset.
Samsung Exynos 5300 5G Modem together with Tensor 3
The Samsung Exynos 5300 5G modem should boost the performance of Google Tensor 3 given the new feat of 10Gbps download speed and optimized battery performance. For reference, the Google Tensor 3 is a formidable chipset with its impressive features as well. Tensor G3 is believed to include one Cortex-X3 core running at 3.09 GHz, four Cortex-A715 performance cores running at 2.65 GHz, and four Cortex-A510 cores running at 2.1 GHz servicing the efficiency cluster.
Moreover, the Tensor G3 will include the Xclipse 930, a successor to the Exynos 2200’s Xclipse 920. In our benchmarks, the Xclipse 920 fell just short of the Adreno 730 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the A15 Bionic GPU – so possibly Xclipse 930 should be doing better. Bottom line, we await the Samsung 5300 5G modem’s abilities and the boost it will give the Tensor G3 in terms of chipset performance.
