Samsung has announced its high-performance mobile system processor called Exynos 2200, which is the first processor jointly developed by the South Korean company and AMD. The collaboration is really reflected in graphics performance, and the first devices could be the Galaxy S22 models expected at the February launch, when the new SoC will be available for testing.
The 4nm EUV technology in the Exynos 2200 uses AMD’s RDNA 2 graphics architecture, a graphics component called Xclipse that is the first of its kind in mobile devices to enable hardware acceleration, packet tracking, and real-time variable-speed shadow mapping. Thanks to packet tracing, games can get a more realistic look, and variable-speed shaders can reduce developers’ hardware requirements by loading low-quality shaders into less visible areas, improving frame rate and gameplay continuity.
Samsung and AMD in 2019 announceThat they have a license agreement and share certain technologies with each other. AMD already announced last year that an RDNA 2 based mobile processor is coming soon from the South Korean giant.
In addition to the graphics engine, the Exynos 2200 is among the first chipsets to use onboard Armv9 CPU cores. The processor, which powers a total of eight cores (one Cortex-X2, three Cortex-A710 and four Cortex-A510), also comes with an internal NPU, which doubles the performance of the previous generation Exynos, the manufacturer promises. There is no information available yet on the processor core clock.
The system chip can handle a 200-megapixel camera, 8K video recording, and 4K monitors up to 120Hz or QHD+ displays up to 144Hz. The integrated 5G modem operates in the sub-6 GHz and millimeter wavelength bands, and the chip requires LPDDR5 from system memory, and UFS 3.1 from storage. Supports all global navigation systems.
Samsung has so far said that the Exynos 2200 is in mass production, but there is no official launch date. Rumors predict that the company will unveil it on February 8 The best Galaxy S22 phonesThe new system chip is expected to appear in European models, while Qualcomm’s Snapdragon will remain in the United States.
