Samsung Galaxy A56 benchmark results reveal Exynos 1580’s faster CPU and new RDNA GPU | Infinium-tech
Some time ago we saw the first results of the Exynos 1580, Samsung’s next mid-range chipset. Now we have a new batch of results coming from one of the flagship devices where the new chip will be used – the Samsung Galaxy A56.
Supposedly, the model number of the phone is SM-A566B, while the chipset comes under S5E8855.
Samsung Galaxy A56 (SM-A566B) scorecard from Geekbench 6.2.2
The Exynos 1580 has eight CPU cores: 1x prime core at 2.91GHz, 3x mid-cores at 2.60GHz, and four small cores at 1.95GHz. We don’t actually know yet what those cores are, but Samsung has rebalanced things since the Exynos 1480, which had 4x A78 cores @ 2.75GHz and 4x A55 @ 2.0GHz.
The Prime core in the upcoming chip runs at higher clock speeds, targeting higher single-core performance. It may also be a different core than the three middle cores.
Geekbench also recorded the GPU – code-named “Angle”, it is the Xclipse 540. Last year’s chip was the previous-generation Xclipse 530 (“Titan”), which was based on AMD’s RDNA 2. There’s a good chance that the new chip will be upgraded to the new RDNA 3 architecture as the other x40 generation GPU, the Xclipse 940 inside the Exynos 2400, uses exactly the same.
As for the Samsung Galaxy A56, it was configured with 8GB of RAM, but that doesn’t mean much – the A55 also had 6GB, 8GB, and even 12GB options. What’s more interesting is that the phone runs on Android 15, unlike the Galaxy S24 FE, which came with Android 14 (and a lower-performing Exynos 2400e chip).
By the way, it’s too early to see the score results – the chip has already improved since the first benchmarks were seen and there’s still plenty of time before Samsung unveils the Galaxy A56. Considering the A55, A54 and A53 releases, this will happen in mid-March.
