Samsung today announced its new premium mobile processor, the Exynos 2200.

It’s a combination of the latest Arm-based CPU cores available and the AMD RDNA 2 architecture based Samsung Xclipse graphics processing unit (GPU).

The Future Of Mobile Gaming Graphics

At the core of the Xclipse GPU is the AMD RDNA 2 architecture and with it comes advanced graphic features never seen on a mobile device such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing (RT) and variable rate shading (VRS).

Additionally, the Xclipse GPU comes with various technologies such as advanced multi-IP governor (AMIGO) that enhance overall performance and efficiency.

The Exynos 2200 is one of the first processors in the market to integrate Arm’s latest Armv9 CPU.

It’s designed in a tri-cluster structure that is made up of a single powerful Arm Cortex-X2 flagship-core, three performance and efficiency balanced Cortex-A710 big-cores, and four power-efficient Cortex-A510 little-cores.

The performance of its Neural Processing Unit (NPU) – the part that handles AI – has doubled compared to its predecessor.

It now offers much higher precision with FP16 (16bit floating point) support in addition to power-efficient INT8 (8bit integer) and INT16.

5G & Security

The Exynos 2200 supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave (millimetre Wave) spectrum bands through the 3GPP Release 16 5G modem.

With E-UTRAN New Radio – Dual Connectivity (EN-DC), which utilises both 4G LTE and 5G NR signals, the modem can boost the speed up to 10Gbps.

For security, the chip comes with an Integrated Secure Element (iSE) to store private cryptographic keys as well as to play a role as RoT (Root of Trust). 

Also, an inline encryption HW for UFS and DRAM has been reinforced to have user data encryption safely shared only within the secure domain.

Photo & Video Capabilities

For cameras, the Exynos 2200’s image signal processor (ISP) architecture has been redesigned to support up to 200 megapixels (MP).

At 30 frames-per-second (fps) – burst –, the ISP supports up to 108 MP in single camera mode, and 64+36 MP in dual camera mode.

It can also connect up to seven individual image sensors and drive four concurrently for advanced multi-camera setups.

When taking a photograph, the machine learning-based AI camera can recognise multiple objects, the environment, and faces within the scene. 

It then applies optimal settings for colour, white balance, exposure, dynamic range, and more. 

For video recording, the ISP supports up to 4K HDR (or 8K) resolution.

With 8K resolution support, the Exynos 2200’s uses a multi-format codec (MFC). 

It decodes videos up to 4K at 240fps or 8K at 60fps and encodes up to 4K at 120fps or 8K at 30fps.

Additionally, the MFC integrates a power-efficient AV1 decoder for a longer playback time. 

The advanced display solution features HDR10+ and can support refresh rates of up to 144Hz.

The Exynos 2200 is currently in mass production.
