“Samsung’s Exynos 2400 Rumored to Double GPU Speed and Use Radeon RX Power for Galaxy S24”

We were recently talking about the return of the Eynos in the future Galaxy S24. Well, a rumor indicates that Samsung has solved a problem with the Exynos 2200: the GPU. Indeed, the Exynos 2400 would be twice as fast as the Exynos 2200, with the same power as a Radeon RX seen in desktop PCs, the 6400.

Still RDNA2

The Exynos 2200 is Samsung’s first system-on-chip that integrated an AMD GPU. The graphic part integrates three groups of units, which contain two CUs (as explained here), the minimum component of AMD chips. Each CU contains 64 units, so the Xclipse 920 GPU contains 384 units, at a fairly low frequency (1306 MHz). The Exynos 2400 would incorporate an Xclipse 940 which would double the number of units: six groups of units for a total of 768 units.

In a sense, that’s a high value: AMD Radeon RX 6400 cards in PCs pack the same number of units, and that’s significantly more than the GPU in Valve’s console Steam Deck. But the point of view may be different: the Radeon RX 6400 is an entry-level card sold at a fairly low price (the cards worth about 150 €) but with performance often considered insufficient. But in any case, it’s an interesting novelty: a criticism of the Galaxy S22 equipped with an Exynos chip is the power of its GPU.

A confirmed 10-core CPU

the leaker Revegnus also confirms the 1+2+3+4 architecture, i.e. 10 cores. The first would be a Cortex X4 with a frequency of 3.1 GHz (a value significantly lower than that expected from Qualcomm), accompanied by two Cortex A720s at 2.9 GHz (optimized for performance), three Cortex A720s (2 .6 GHz) power-optimized and — finally — four 1.8 GHz Cortex A520s.

As usual with Samsung, it also indicates the presence of an NPU for AI-related calculations, AV1 decoding and a 5G modem. The engraving announced this time would be Samsung’s SF4P, ie an improved 4 nm, while other rumors speak of a 3 nm chip. But in foundry marketing names, improved 4 nm can be presented as 3 nm…

Samsung plans to offer the Exynos 2400 in 3 nm for the Galaxy S24
