Samsung has announced its latest in-house mobile flagship chipset, Exynos 2200, that’s expected to power the upcoming flagship Galaxy smartphones.
The Exynos 2200 is the first system-on-a-chip to feature an AMD RDNA 2 graphics architecture along with Samsung Xclipse graphics processing unit.
The chipset is built on the most advanced 4nm EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography) process combined with improved Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and GPU technologies.
Samsung says that the new chipset aims to redefine the mobile gaming experience with enhanced graphics and AI performance.
Samsung Exynos 2200: CPU details
On the CPU front, the Exynos 2200 uses the latest Armv9 cores. It’s an octa-core setup that includes four efficient Cortex-A510 cores, three Cortex-A710 cores and one high-performance Cortex X2 core.
The CPU also features an updated NPU. The company claims that the Exynos 2200 features double NPU performance compared to its predecessor, Exynos 2100 , to offer better calculations and AI performance. The NPU now offers much higher precision with FP16 (16bit floating point) support in addition to power efficient INT8 (8 bit integer) and INT16.
The Exynos 2200 also comes with a fast 3GPP release 16 6G modem that supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave (millimeter Wave) bands. It also supports E-UTRAN New Radio-Dual connectivity that enables it to use both 4G LTE and 5G NR signals to offer speeds up to 10Gbps.
Samsung Exynos 2200: GPU details
As already mentioned, the Exynos 2200 is the first chip to feature an AMD RDNA 2 architecture with Xclipse GPU
The AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture enables this chipset to offer PC and console-level graphics performance with hardware-accelerated ray tracing (RT) and variable rate shading (VRS) that were previously only available on PCs, laptops and consoles.
Samsung Exynos 2200: Camera details
The latest Exynos chip comes with a redesigned image signal processor (ISP) and it now supports the latest image sensor of up to 200MP. The ISP also supports a 108MP sensor at 30fps in single camera mode. 64MP + 36MP in dual camera mode.
The chipset can handle up to seven image sensors and run four of them simultaneously. For video recording, the ISP supports up to 4K HDR (or 8K) resolution.
