Samsung is gearing up to launch its latest flagship level Exynos SoC next year. This chip has been highly anticipated since AMD is working on its GPU. Although, a new leak has revealed that the performance gains might be disappointing.

According to @AhmedQwaider888, the South Korean tech giant’s cooperating with Team Red might not bring a big breakthrough. The tipster revealed that the Exynos 2200 might only offer a 5 percent gain over the Exynos 2100, while its GPU performance is higher by around 17 percent. By comparison, the Exynos 2100 offered a sizeable 30 percent gain in CPU and a 40 percent bump in GPU performance over the Exynos 990 SoC. In other words, the Exynos 2200 is offering quite lackluster growth. But, there is still hope for the new chipset.

While the leak shares modest performance improvements, there is one area where the upcoming chip shines. The Exynos 2200 SoC feature an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) that offers a whopping 117 percent performance boost in terms of artificial intelligence (AI). Through this, we can expect improvements in various areas like the Bixby voice assistance that could be faster. Similarly, other AI powered tasks will also receive a boost, including photography.

Although the figure points at just a 17 percent raw GPU performance growth, AMD being a pioneer in this field. So, it might have the SoC offer other kinds of improvements and optimizations. This could be in the form of better support for 3D games to enable a smoother gaming experience in high graphical fidelity titles. Another notable inclusion could be ray tracing support as well. Albeit, this would likely be a cutdown version compared to its PC counterpart. Unfortunately, only real world tests would reveal how well the new chip fare against its competitors and its predecessors. So stay tuned for more updates.
