Samsung sent a Twitter picture of Exynos 9 series last Friday. It is also accompanied with the article "be ready for the next Exynos", which is obviously a warm-up for the promotion of the next generation of self-developed processor Exynos 9. However, this drawing does not give any manufacturing process details or hardware information. Therefore, it is impossible to speculate about its release time.
However, an intern in a Samsung R&D institution revealed some information about the 9th generation in the LinkedIn profile. Exynos 9 will be two versions: Exynos 9810V and Exynos 9810M, with 18 cores or 20 cores Mali-G71 GPU respectively. At present, it is generally certain that Exynos 9 will use 10nm manufacturing process, other parameters are unknown.
