Samsung officially pulled back the curtain on its latest homegrown chipset, the Exynos 2400. The future Exynos chipset was unveiled during the System LSI Tech Day 2023, with the brand highlighting several of the latest features on it.
Just as Samsung did with its predecessor, the Exynos 2200 SoC, the Exynos 2400 is a chipset that was made in collaboration with AMD. More specifically, it houses a new Xclipse 940 GPU that comprises all-new integrated graphics cores based on the RDNA3 architecture that made its debut last November. A live demo showcase further showed off what the brand describes as enhanced ray-tracing capabilities, along with an improved level of realism and immersion through improved global illumination, reflection, and shadow renderings.
Samsung falls short of indicating just how many graphics cores reside within the Xclipse 940 but hopefully, the Korean tech giant would increase the core count, on top of improving its overall speed and frequencies. In terms of performance, Samsung claims that the Exynos 2400 has an improved CPU performance of 1.7x over the Exynos 2200, and a major boost of 14.7x in AI performance, compared to its predecessor.
As impressive as those numbers are for the Exynos 2400, it should be noted that its predecessor was mired with what many reviewers, and S22 Ultras fitted with the chipset, said was lacklustre performance, especially when compared to S22 Ultra models fitted with its competitor at the time, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1. Even with RDNA2 cores to back it up, the Exynos 2200 was shown to be slower than the competition, albeit not by a huge gap.
As to when we can expect the Exynos 2400, we’re probably going to have to wait until 2024; it’s highly likely that Samsung could return to form and launch a Galaxy S24 and S24+ with the chipset, with the flagship S24 Ultra probably rocking what many of us believe to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen3.
