Although Samsung chose Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 over its own Exynos chips for the Galaxy S23 this year, it may not make the same decision next year. The Korean company is reportedly developing a new Exynos 2400 chip that might power some Galaxy S24 units. From what we know so far, it looks pretty powerful, at least on paper. In the latest development, a tipster has claimed the Exynos chip will get a new RDNA2-based graphics unit with 6WGP.

Exynos 2400 could be Samsung’s trump card

Samsung’s Exynos chipsets are not exactly known for performance and efficiency but the upcoming Exynos 2400 could be different. It is expected to be a deca-core chipset and now Revengus has claimed on Twitter that the chipset will use AMD’s RDNA2-based GPU but with 12 compute units. For reference, the Exynos 2200’s Xclipse 920 has just three compute units. It is also claimed to feature 6 WGP, which is short for “workgroup processor” and forms part of AMD’s RDNA architecture.

Unlike other mobile processors that typically utilize an octa-core architecture, the upcoming Exynos platform is reportedly designed with 10 cores. The chipset is expected to include the following cores: one Cortex-X4 clocked at 3.1 GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores running at 2.9 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex-A520 cores operating at 1.8 GHz.

A recent report suggests that mass production of the Exynos 2400 chip will begin in 2024. It is likely to power some models of the Galaxy S24 series. However, there’s no word yet on which regions will get the Exynos 2400-powered variants of the Galaxy S24. More details should emerge in the coming days.
