Leifeng News on January 18, before the release of the new generation of flagship Galaxy S22 series, today Samsung announced the launch of a new generation of Exynos flagship chip - Exynos 2200, which is also the third 4nm flagship mobile chip in the Android camp after MediaTek Tianji 9000 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1.
The biggest highlight of the Exynos 2200 is of course its built-in Xclipse GPU, as a result of Samsung's collaboration with AMD, the new Xclipse 920 GPU uses the AMD RDNA 2 architecture, bringing advanced graphics processing features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing (RT) and variable rate coloring (VRS) that were previously only available on PCs, laptops and game consoles.
Among them, ray tracing technology calculates the motion path and color characteristics of light reflected from the surface of the object, bringing realistic light reflection effects to the scene rendered in real time, providing an immersive experience, and it is reported that this is also the first time that hardware accelerated light tracking technology has been applied to mobile GPU.
In terms of main specifications, Exynos 2200 adopts Samsung 4nm EUV process, the CPU is designed for 8 core triple cluster architecture, and its CPU core composition is the same as the previous Tianji 9000 and Snapdragon 8 mobile platforms, and it is also the first batch of products using ARM V9 CPU cores, including 1 ARM Cortex-X2 super core, 3 Cortex-A710 large cores and 4 Cortex-A510 small cores, and Samsung has not officially announced the specific frequency of the CPU However, according to the parameters leaked by the GeekBench run sub-library before, it should be 2.8GHz + 2.52GHz + 1.82GHz.
In terms of AI performance, the official Exynos 2200 integrated dual-core NPU unit performance has doubled compared with the previous generation, in addition to INT8 and INT16, it also supports higher precision FP16.
The Exynos 2200 features a redesigned ISP that supports up to 200 million pixel sensors, can connect up to 7 image sensors and drive 4 cameras simultaneously to work, supports recording 4K HDR video, and its multi-format codec has the ability to decode 8K 60fps, 4K 240fps, and encode 8K 30fps, 4K 120fps video.
In terms of 5G performance, the Exynos 2200 integrates a 3GPP Release 16 standard 5G modem, supports sub-6GHz and millimeter wave bands, and peak downlink rates of up to 10Gbps.
In terms of other peripheral specifications, the Exynos 2200 flash memory specification supports up to UFS 3.1, the memory supports LPDDR5, and the screen supports 4K 120Hz or QHD+ 144Hz.
Samsung officially said that the Exynos 2200 has now entered the mass production stage and is expected to be installed on the European version of the Galaxy S22 series models released in the future.
Leifeng Network summary
Although there have been rumors of difficult childbirth before, but now Samsung still released the Exynos 2200, it seems that even if the proportion of shipments is not high, Samsung is not willing to easily give up the technical reserves on the self-developed flagship SoC, and is not willing to give up the cooperation with AMD in gpu.
In particular, the Xclipse GPU using AMD RDNA 2 architecture brings new features such as ray tracing, which brings new possibilities for the experience of mobile games; in addition to light chase, in the context of the great improvement in the performance of various mobile chip GPUs this year, it is also more expected to its actual performance.
