The Galaxy Watch 7 chip claimed to be “30% faster, 50% more efficient”

Samsung may be forging the Galaxy Ring, but that doesn't mean the Galaxy Watch is going to be overshadowed. No, the Galaxy Watch 7 lineup is also in development and based on recent claims, it could feature a square design.

The last time we talked about the Galaxy Watch 7's chip – the Exynos W940 (aka Exynos 5535) – was almost a month ago.

Its job is to outperform the upcoming Google Pixel Watch devices and the Apple Watch Series 10, Samsung hopes. This processor, potentially launching as the Exynos W940, promises significant performance improvements over its predecessor, the Exynos W930, used in last year's Galaxy Watch 6 models. Speculation suggests that the Galaxy Watch 7 could include a 3nm chip, offering major improvements in speed and power efficiency, which could narrow the competition gap with Apple, although it is still early for sales forecasts. Now, X/Twitter user @TheGaloxclaims that the 3nm Exynos W940 chip is “30% faster in performance and 50% more efficient” than the previous generation chip, the W930 (via SamMobile).

The report points out that aside from Samsung's confirmation, the informant's claims should be taken with a grain of salt, as this account “has been repeatedly incorrect in the past.”
