Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Samsung Exynos 7872 was once a central component of many mobile devices. This processor, manufactured using the 14-nanometer process, proved to be energy-efficient. Its architecture relied on a combination of powerful Cortex-A73 and efficient Cortex-A53 cores. This configuration enabled a balanced performance for everyday use.

The interplay provided a solid foundation in its device class. We have seen how reliably it operated in typical applications. The integrated graphics unit, an ARM Mali-G71 MP1, supported multimedia content well. It was sufficient for common games and smooth video playback. With 2 MB Level-2 cache, the Samsung Exynos 7872 offered reasonable data processing.

It proved to be a robust chip for smartphones and tablets of its generation. Even today, it masters basic tasks without much effort. For web browsing or social media, it is still a usable choice. It is no longer a high-performance chip, but a reliable companion.Energy-efficient 14-nm manufacturingBalanced Cortex-A73 / Cortex-A53 architectureIntegrated ARM Mali-G71 MP1 graphicsRobust chip for everyday tasks
