Samsung officially released its self-developed chip Exynos 2200 on January 18. As Samsung's new flagship chipset for high-end smartphones, the Exnyos 2200 will debut in the Galaxy S22 series. The new CPU and AMD GPU give the Exnyos 2200 full enhancements over the Exynos 2100, with Samsung claiming to offer better imaging and faster connectivity through its new processor. Horizontally, the Samsung Exynos 2200 will have a direct dialogue with the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform.
From an infrastructure point of view, the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 have a lot of similarities. Both are manufactured using Samsung's foundry's 4nm LPE process and use arm v9 CPU cores. Both chips use a Cortex-X2 flagship core, three Cortex-A710 large cores, and four Cortex-A510 small cores. Both chips feature quad channels of LPDDR5 memory, UFS 3.1 storage, GPS, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and 5G connectivity, and download speeds up to 10Gb/s.
The AMD RDNA2-based Xclipse 920 GPU is a hybrid GPU between mobile devices and game consoles capable of driving 4K screens at 120Hz and QHD+ screens at 144Hz. Supports hardware-based ray tracing and VRS variable rate shading. The VRS feature provides game developers with a way to reduce shading rate in specific frame areas, thereby reducing power consumption. In addition, the chipset features AMIGO (Advanced Multi-IP Regulator) for greater power efficiency.
The ISPs of the Exynos 2200 are not much different from the ISPs in the Exynos 2100. Supports a 200MP sensor capable of shooting 108MP images at 30fps or 64MP+32MP simultaneously at 30fps. On the video side, the Exynos 2200 can record 4K 120fps and 8K 30fps video using HDR10+. The Exynos 2200 supports 8K 60fps video and 240fps 4K video playback.
The technology website MySmartPrice recently announced some of the performance benchmark results of exynos 2200, measured by galaxy S22 Ultra: Antutu running score 965874; Geekbench single-core score 1108, multi-core score 3516; GFXbench Aztec ruins normal test 109 fps.
Compare the public Version Snapdragon 8 Gen 1: AnTu Rabbit Running score 977613; Geekbench single-core score 1235, multi-core score 3837; GFXbench Aztec ruins normal test 139.25fps. Only from the perspective of theoretical test scores, Snapdragon 8 is slightly stronger than Exynos 2200, but the advantages are limited, and the specific performance still needs to be combined with real machine testing and use.
