Today, Samsung has announced its latest processor the Exynos 2200 chip, which is the successor of last year’s Exynos 2100. It is based on 4nm EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography processing technology that provides better power efficiency. This has a tri-cluster CPU structure made up of a single powerful Arm Cortex-X2 flagship-core that is optimized for peak performance, three Cortex-A710 cores for balanced processing, and four Cortex-A510 cores for efficiency.
All these cores are based on the latest Armv9 CPU architecture. All features are similar to the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, but the company didn't reveal the clock speed of the cores yet. The Exynos 2200 also features Xclipse GPU that comes with AMIGO (advanced multi-IP governor) technology which monitors the main components like the CPU and GPU to enhance overall performance and efficiency to extend battery life.
The Processor has the new Samsung Xclipse 920 GPU with the new high-performance AMD RDNA 2 architecture and has hardware ray tracing technology that simulates real-world light movement, and variable rate shading (VRS) that helps to optimize GPU workloads by applying lower shading rates in areas where it will not affect visual quality, thus providing stable frame rates., which is only available on PCs, laptops, and consoles, as per the company.
The Exynos 2200’s NPU performance has been upgraded and more powerful on-device artificial intelligence (AI) when compared to its previous chip, as per Samsung. The NPU also has much higher precision with FP16 (16bit floating point) support and power-efficient INT8 (8bit integer) and INT16, adds the company.
The Exynos 2200 integrates a fast 3GPP Release 16 5G modem supporting both sub-6GHz and mmWave (millimeter wave) spectrum bands. With E-UTRAN New Radio – Dual Connectivity (EN-DC), which utilizes both 4G LTE and 5G NR signals, the modem can boost the speed up to 10Gbps.
It also comes with Integrated Secure Element (iSE) to secure the store's private cryptographic keys as well as to play a role as RoT (Root of Trust). Also has inline encryption HW for UFS and DRAM has been reinforced to have user data encryption safely shared only within the secure domain.
