Samsung quietly unveiled its new flagship Exynos chipset. There have been rumors that the Exynos 2200 SoC will be canceled due to “some issues”such as a global chip shortage. However, the company later confirmed that the chipset would be announced and is now finally officially unveiled ahead of the launch of the S22 series.
The Exynos 2200 chipset is the successor to the Exynos 2100 SoC and is rumored to be used in all three flagship Samsung S22 series smartphones in select markets. Samsung’s new smartphone processor comes with an AMD GPU and a host of other features. Let’s take a look at Samsung Exynos 2200 chip specifications, specifications and other details.
Characteristics of the Samsung Exynos 2200 single-chip system
Samsung announced the Exynos 2200 SoC a week after the original January 11 launch date. The chipset will be used in the S22 series later this year. The official Samsung blog post does not delve into the details of the CPU core and GPU. However, it contains some basic but important details of the new Exynos chip.
The flagship Exynos chip is rumored to be built on a 4nm process and combined with “advanced mobile technologies, GPUs and NPUs.”Samsung’s new chip comes with AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture-based Samsung Xclipse GPU, which brings several new features such as ray tracing (RT) and variable rate shading (VRS) that we’ve seen on PCs, laptops and gaming consoles.
The SoC is tri-clustered, meaning one higher-clocked Cortex X2 Prime core, three high-performance Cortex-A710 cores, and four efficient Cortex-A510 cores. The NPU’s performance is said to have doubled compared to its predecessor, enabling more parallel computing and improving AI performance.
For faster and smoother 5G connectivity, the Exynos 2200 comes with a fast 3GPP Release 16 5G modem supporting sub-6GHz and mmWave bands. It also supports a 200MP camera sensor as well as 8K video recording at 60fps. Finally, the chip supports HDR10+ displays and a 2K screen with a 144Hz refresh rate or a 4K resolution screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. What do you think of the new Samsung chipset?
