Just yesterday, Samsung finally officially released the long-publicized Exynos 2200 processor, Exynos 2200 as Samsung's first AMD RDNA 2 architecture GPU processor, has been attracting much attention from the outside world.
Exynos 2200 is based on Samsung's 4nm process, and like the Snapdragon 8, it uses ARM's latest ARMv9 architecture, with a large core of Cortex X2, a large core of Cortex A710, and a small core of Cortex A510.
The biggest upgrade of the Exynos 2200 is equipped with an Xclipse GPU equipped with AMD RDNA2 architecture. Also because of this GPU, the Exynos 2200 inherits advanced graphics features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing and variable rate shading that were previously only available on PCs and game consoles.
And the Samsung Exynos 2200 is also the industry's first flagship processor to support hardware-accelerated ray tracing on mobile devices.
According to the official introduction, Xclipse GPU is between the host and the mobile graphics processor, is a very special hybrid graphics processor. "Xclipse" is a combination of "X" and "eclipse" representing Exynos.
Samsung said that with the advanced Arm-based CPU core and upgraded Neural Processing Unit (NPU) on the market today, the Exynos 2200 will enable a better mobile game experience while enhancing the overall experience of social media applications and photography.
It is understood that compared with the previous generation, the exynos 2200 NPU has doubled the performance, allowing for more parallel computing and enhanced AI performance. In addition to the energy-efficient INT8 (8-bit integer) and INT16, NPU now offers higher accuracy and supports FP16 (16-bit floating point).
In addition, the Exynos 2200 integrates a high-speed 3GPP Release 16 5G modem that supports sub-6GHz and mmWave bands. With E-UTRAN New Radio-Dual Connectivity (EN-DC), it can utilize both 4G LTE and 5G NR signals and increase speeds to 10Gbps.
Today, foreign media exposed the running score of the Galaxy S22 Ultra equipped with Exynos 2200. In Geekbench, the Exynos 2200 has a single-core score of 1108 and a multi-core score of 3516, nearly identical to the Exynos 2100.
In Antutu, the Exynos 2200 ran a 960,000-point performance, an increase of 46% over last year's Exynos 2100.
However, in the GFXBench Aztec Ruins (Normal) benchmark to test GPU performance, the Exynos 2200 only ran a frame rate of 109 fps, lower than the 143fps of xiaomi 12 equipped with snapdragon 8, and even lower than a snapdragon 888 model.
