Samsung Electronics unveiled its latest flagship mobile processor for smartphones, featuring its new Xclipse GPU built with AMD’s graphics technology and running on Arm-based CPU cores.
The Exynos 2200 is already in mass production. In a statement, Samsung highlighted the processor’s credentials for mobile gaming alongside social media and other image-intensive services.
With AMD’s high-performance RDNA 2 architecture, the Xclipse GPU supports features including hardware-accelerated ray tracing and variable rate shading, which previously were only available on PCs, laptops and consoles, Samsung explained.
President of System LSI Business, Park Yong-in claimed the Exynos 2200 will “redefine the mobile gaming experience”, aided by enhanced graphics and AI performance.
The mobile processor is equipped with an Arm octa-core CPU and manufactured using Samsung’s 4nm extreme ultraviolet lithography process.
Samsung stated Exynos 2200 provides more powerful on-device AI, with an upgraded neural processing unit doubling the performance compared with its predecessor and allowing more calculations in parallel.
