Earlier this month, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, while MediaTek launched its Dimensity 9000 flagship chipset. These chipsets will be seen in flagship phones next year, and in fact, some newly launched phones are already using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Now, it seems like it’s Samsung’s turn as today, it has officially revealed that its next Exynos processor dubbed Exynos 2200 will be announced in early January 2022.

Samsung Exynos 2200 Release Date and Specs

The Exynos 2200, Samsung’s in-house processor for flagship phones will be announced on January 11, 2022. The company has teased the new chipset with the hashtag #PlaytimeIsOver hinting at its performance. But unfortunately, the company has not revealed any explicit details about the processor.

What we know is that the company won’t be using a 4nm process like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but it may have the same 5nm process as seen in the Exynos 2100. This time around, the new Exynos 2200 will drive graphics from AMD’s RDNA2 GPU which is seen in PC and consoles. That said, it will come with impressive features like ray-tracing and variable rate shading.

The Exynos 2200 will be an octa-core chipset with one Cortex-X2 CPU core, three Cortex-A710 CPU cores, and four Cortex-A510 CPU cores. It is also expected to have an improved 5G modem, better image signal processing, and enhanced AI processing.

It is evident that the Exynos 2200 will be in the upcoming Samsung flagships like the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra in some markets. The rest of the markets including India and China will get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered Galaxy S22 units.

Samsung Exynos 2200 may offer lackluster performance gains, but its not all bad news

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.

Samsung Exynos 2200’s AMD GPU exhibits 34% peak performance improvement over predecessor

Samsung Exynos 2200 official GPU benchmark results are here and they show some significant performance improvements over its predecessor. The peak performance is something to put one’s hands together for while sustained performance is more of a mixed bag.

Notable leakster Tron has posted some figures, reportedly given by none other than Samsung itself. These show that AMD’s RDNA 2-powered 6-core GPU on the Exynos 2200 has a peak performance improvement of +31 to 34% over the Exynos 2100, which is quite a bit considering we typically see +20 to 25% performance gains between generations of CPU or GPU.

Compared to E2100, E2200 GPU is…
Sustained +17~20%
Peak +31~34%

Compared to SD888, E2200 GPU has…
Big difference in 3DMark performance (Wild Life)

However, the sustained performance, or the performance metrics over a given time duration, is less satisfactory with a difference of +17% to +20%. This could indicate throttling, but Tron says that the performance results are based on pre-release hardware and software. We may hence see improvements over time.

Tron has also shared the Exynos 2200 GPU has a big difference in 3DMark performance (Wild Life) over the Snapdragon 888 chip. Of course, the SD888 is a chip from last year so the comparison isn’t exactly fair. But GPUs on flagship Snapdragon processors are known to vastly outperform the competition, so even reaching up to their mark is quite an achievement.

The tweet further reveals that the Samsung Exynos 2200 will be making use of the new ARMv9 architecture that was launched this year. This one focuses big on AI, machine learning, and security, meaning that the E2200 will be benefitting from it all as well.

It remains to be seen how well the Exynos 2200 will be performing against the likes of the Apple A15 and Snapdragon 898, which are its true rivals. The chip had, after all, already beaten the A14 Bionic in one case. But while its peak GPU performance is indeed impressive, most gamers swear by sustained performance since it’s more meaningful, and Samsung still needs to work a bit on that.
