After far the recent speculation, Samsung has officially announced the Exynos 2200 (E2200) of the SOC. The big news with this launch is the Exynos Chip Dump GPU chip dumps this year for Samsung Custom GPUs have been developed together with AMD which displays RDN2-based graphics.
There had been a recent speculation that Samsung had an insufficient new chip result to make it a very anticipated Galaxy S22 series including Ultra S22. With its launch, now it appears that the E2200 will indeed join Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 (SD8G1) in the Samsung premium smartphone offer – although some rumors claim the opposite.
Samsung usually launches the Exynos variant of its flagship cellphone in the international market, while the US, Canada, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan get the Snapdragon version. The company has used this strategy to help manage its global supply chain, although it has caused criticism due to variations in the performance of its device with the Exynos model.
On the CPU side, E2200 is very similar to Qualcomm SD8G1 (and indeed dimensity of MediaTek 9000). It features a new V9 arm architecture throughout the board with one big core, the cortex-x2, makes a heavy appointment; It joins three smaller core performance in the form of the A710 cortex.
Returns everything is the four core efficiency of the cortex-A510. Samsung has not revealed the speed of the E2200 peak hours, but as a comparison point, the SD8G1 clock between 1.8GHz and 2.9GHz, so we can expect something similar from Exynos. The new neural machine is also said to offer twice AI’s performance as before.
The GPU side E2200 is a very interesting place. Samsung has partnered with AMD for what will be the first of many cellular GPUs from this new collaboration. The new GPU has been nicknamed Samsung Xclipse 920 and is based on the RDNA2 Vaunted AMD graphics architecture, equal to the strength of the Xbox Series X and Sony PS5 console.
Like these devices, the new GPU XCLIPSE supports tracking rays that are accelerated hardware for more realistic effects and lighting charts. In fact, Samsung claims the E2200 provides a graphical performance of the console level (which, of course, not the first time we have heard of such claims made).
While Samsung does not reveal a lot of specific performance details on both sides of the CPU or GPU E2200, the main concern around the previous chip made using Samsung casting is sustainable performance. Historically, Samsung’s fake chip has struggled to compete with the chip made by TSMC in a transistor density or sustainable performance, even if the node technology intended is the same or similar. It’s clear in the characteristics of Exynos 990, Snapdragon 888, and Exynos 2100, which experienced throttling problems under heavy loads.
E2200 uses Samsung 4NM EUV fabrication technology similar to Qualcomm SD8G1, which Qualcomm has contracted Samsung to produce. However, unlike Snapdragon 888, which is exclusively made by Samsung, this time around Qualcomm (like MediaTek for dimensity 9000) can also access the production line that is very largely ordered to produce some of the SD8G1 chips.
Chip fans are very waiting for performance comparisons between Samsung SD8G1 chips made and those from TSMC that utilize the N4 process. Samsung said it has increased investment in fabrication technology, so that all eyes will be on E2220 when they arrive with the launch of the Galaxy S22 series next month.
