Samsung has finally peeled the curtain back on the Exynos 2200, its first smartphone processor with AMD graphics.
Samsung revealed a partnership with AMD back in 2019 which would see the graphics company build a GPU for Exynos smartphone processors. It’s been a wait since then, but now Samsung has finally announced the first product in this partnership, the Exynos 2200. The Exynos 2200 brings a Samsung 4nm design as well as the new Armv9 CPU cores. The core layout is similar to Mediatek and Qualcomm’s latest SoCs, featuring a single Cortex-X2 for heavy lifting, three Cortex-A710 cores for medium tasks, and four Cortex-A510 little cores. Samsung didn’t disclose clock speeds or cache details here. The star of the show here is indeed the so-called Xclipse 920 GPU though, powered by AMD’s RDNA2 graphics cores. There’s no official word on clock speed or the number of cores in use here, but it supports hardware-based ray tracing technology and variable rate shading.
