Samsung pushes the first light-chasing mobile phone SoC - Exynos 2200

DoNews, January 18 (Liu Wenxuan) In the middle of last year, Samsung and AMD confirmed that they have joined forces to develop a next-generation Exynos SoC that supports ray tracing, and the results were officially announced today. The mobile soC, called Exynos 2200, is based on a 4nm EUV process, designed by armv9 CPU cores, combined with AMD's RDNA 2 GPU technology, and for the first time to introduce ray-traced image processing capabilities in mobile device platforms.

Samsung named the GPU applied to exynos chips Xclipse GPUs, which have ray tracing and VRS (variable rate shading) functions that were only available on PCs in the past, the former can bring the same light reflection effect as real life to the mobile phone screen, and the latter allows developers to customize the screen area that needs to be redrawn by the processor to reduce the computational pressure.

The Exynos 2200 is powered by a three-tier CPU consisting of an efficient Arm Cortex-X2 core with three Cortex-A710 large cores and four Cortex-A510 low-consumption cores. At the same time, there will also be upgraded NPU, and the official said that there will be a doubling of the performance increase. In terms of imaging, ISPs will support ultra-high-resolution cameras up to 200MP, which is expected to correspond to the ISOCELL HP1 CMOS released by Samsung last year.
