Quote from same person who wrote that article:

There are 3 projects going on with Exynos SoCs :

All three are based on the 5430 (very high clock 5422 basically, default drivers at 2GHz A15, 1.5GHz A7, 600Mhz gpu. Voltages still point to same 28nm process. The 5422 and 5430 have new r4p0 Mali silicon. The 5430 has a HEVC decoder).

A3W5: something weird.
KQ: the S5 is K so this should be related to it.
S: something weird again.

The A3W5 comes in Wi-Fi, 3G and LTE (both Qualcomm) and an FHD or QHD 5.2" screen.

The KQ comes in LTE with an Intel XMM7260 or a Samsung Shannon 300 (Korea) and either an FHD or QHD 5.2" screen.

The S same as KQ but also in 3G : slte, s3g.


Have the feeling the KQ is the S5 prime. All models are ether EUR OPEN or KOR, so might have same global model distribution as the S3.


The 5430 comes with something called ARM intelligent power allocation, basically very fine grained power and TDP tracking.
It puts the A15 at 1.65W per core and A7 at 250mW. The GPU at 3.1W. Total power is limited through IPA at 3.5W.

Later he said it is most probably on 20nm
