Samsung announced today that it has commenced mass production of Exynos 7570, the chipset that’s going to be made on the 14nm FinFET architecture.
“With Exynos 7570, more consumers will be able to experience the performance benefits of the advanced 14nm FinFET process in affordable devices”, said Ben K. Hur, Vice President of System LSI Marketing at Samsung Electronics.
Simply by moving to the 14nm manufacturing process, Samsung says the processor is 30 percent more energy efficient compared to its predecessor. Power Management Integrated Circuit and Radio Frequency features are also on the chip to save more space.
Samsung has packed the Exynos 7570 with some other important features that may help the company build more appetising affordable handsets. It is also the first Exynos processor to fully integrate a Cat.4 LTE two-channel carrier aggregation (2CA) modem and connectivity solutions including WiFi, Bluetooth, frequency modulation (FM) radio and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in one chip.
The South Korean tech giant, the second largest chip maker in the world, used the 14-nanometer process for the first time for its own Exynos series of APs previous year.
Anyway, the chipset supports up to 13MP + 8MP cameras that record 1080p video.

As detailed very well by Samsung, we shouldn’t expect to see this processor in any flagship devices.
