Today, Samsung officially announced the new generation of its flagship processor for mobile devices, the Exynos 2200, which the company will use in its upcoming Galaxy S22 series of phones expected to be announced in a few weeks.
The Exynos 2200 is a System on Chip (SoC) built using a 4-nanometer EUV process and includes the latest Armv9 CPU cores. It has an octa-core CPU built in a triple-cluster architecture consisting of one Arm Cortex-X2 flagship-core, three performance and efficiency balanced Cortex-A710 big-cores, and four power-efficient Cortex-A510 little-cores.
This new Samsung processor also comes with an enhanced Neural Processing Engine (NPU) that is twice the performance compared to its predecessor, allowing more calculations in parallel and enhancing the artificial intelligence (AI) performance.
Samsung made this processor in collaboration with AMD, which enabled it to integrate the RDNA 2 architecture into the GPU, which Samsung calls the Xclipse GPU, and bring it to smartphones.
This architecture will enable the Exynos 2200 processor to provide a better gaming experience and will enable it to bring support for technologies that were previously only available on PCs, laptops, and consoles, such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing (RT) and variable rate shading (VRS), to the mobile devices.
The Exynos 2200’s image signal processor (ISP) architecture supports camera sensors up to 200 megapixels, supports record and playback videos up to 8K resolution at 30 frames per second. The ISP supports up to 108 MP in single camera mode, and 64+36 MP in dual camera mode.
This new Samsung processor chip is powered by a 5G modem that supports sub-6GHz and mmWave spectrum that can use 4G LTE and 5G NR signals together, to boost download speeds up to 10Gbps. The SoC supports also UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM units, up to 4K displays with HDR10+ technology, and up to 144Hz refresh rate.
