The Exynos 1580 is Samsung’s mid-range SoC introduced in October 2024, built on a 4nm EUV FinFET process. One of its headline changes is the move to a tri-cluster CPU design, replacing the older Cortex-A78 / A55 setup: it has 1 prime Cortex-A720 core at ~2.9 GHz, 3 more Cortex-A720 performance cores at ~2.6 GHz, and 4 efficiency Cortex-A520 cores at ~1.95 GHz. 

On the GPU side, it uses the Xclipse 540 (RDNA-based) graphics block, with improvements including two Work Group Processors (WGPs) instead of one, increased GL2 cache, and doubled FMA/texture unit throughput. Overall GPU performance is claimed to be about 37% higher than its predecessor under comparable conditions, with also some gains in power efficiency. 

AI / NPU performance sits at ~14.7 TOPS with a 2MB NPU cache, which helps with demanding AI-inference workloads, though the raw architecture is similar to previous Exynos mid-range NPUs. 

Other features include: support for LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, up to 200 MP camera sensors, 4K@60fps video capture, display refresh rates up to 144 Hz at FHD+ resolution, plus 5G (sub-6GHz) connectivity, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.4.

In benchmarks, the Exynos 1580 shows solid improvements over the Exynos 1480: single-core performance ~17-20% higher; multi-core also uplifted; and GPU similarly better.
