The processor packs Samsung’s own Xclipse GPU based on AMD RDNA 2 architecture that the South Korean company says will offer a console-level gaming experience in smartphones.
Samsung said on Tuesday that it has begun mass production of its new mobile application processor Exynos 2200, which may be powering the upcoming Galaxy S22 series of smartphones. The chip, made with the company’s 4-nanometre EUV node, sports a new GPU called Xclipse based on AMD RDNA 2 architecture, which Samsung said would offer a “console-level” gaming experience in smartphones. According to the South Korean tech giant, Xclipse will offer advanced graphic features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which simulates how light physically behaves in the real world inside the game, and variable rate shading, where shading rate in areas of the game can be lowered to optimise GPU workload.
