The Exynos 2200 is Samsung’s first mobile CPU with an AMD RDNA 2-powered GPU, allowing ray-tracing and other gaming capabilities. The system-on-chip (SoC) will most likely be used in Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy S22, which is expected to be unveiled on February 8th at an Unpacked event.
Samsung’s 4-nanometer EUV technology will be used to produce the Exynos 2200 with AMD’s “Xclipse” GPU. “Samsung’s Xclipse GPU is the first of several planned generations of AMD RDNA graphics in Exynos SoCs,” AMD Senior Vice President David Wang explained.
Meanwhile, the CPU will have one powerful Cortex-X2 “flagship core,” three performance and efficiency balanced Cortex-A710 big-cores and four power-efficient Cortex-A510 little-cores. The image processor is built to support camera sensors with resolutions of up to 200 megapixels, similar to the Isocell HP1 that Samsung unveiled last September.
In 2019, AMD and Samsung established a partnership, with the idea that AMD’s graphics technology will be employed in Exynos smartphone chips. Rumors in early 2021 stated that AMD-powered Samsung CPUs would be available shortly, and AMD confirmed at Computex that a future Exynos mobile system-on-chip will have RDNA 2 graphics technology.
The Exynos 2200 was meant to be released earlier, but Samsung unexpectedly failed to hold its own launch event on January 11th. Exynos CPUs are typically reserved for markets outside of North America, whereas Qualcomm’s Snapdragon mobile processors are used in the United States. That would imply that the AMD GPU and its ray-tracing features would not be available in the United States, but we’ll have to wait until the Galaxy S22 is released to confirm that.
