Samsung left us all hanging with uncertainty last week, when the Korean tech big was a no present at its personal deliberate press convention. Now in a newsroom blogpost, Samsung has formally launched its new high-end cellular Exynos 2200 processor featuring AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture.
Samsung has dubbed the brand new hybrid GPU, Xclipse, getting the X from the Exynos processor whereas the eclipse concept comes from the way it sits between the cellular GPU and the console. Due to AMD’s RDNA 2 know-how, Samsung is boasting the Xclipse can deal with {hardware} accelerated ray tracing and variable price shading, like greater finish consoles and PCs however on a cellular gadget.
“AMD RDNA 2 graphics structure extends power-efficient, superior graphics options to PCs, laptops, consoles, cars and now to cell phones. Samsung’s Xclipse GPU is the primary results of a number of deliberate generations of AMD RDNA graphics in Exynos SoCs,” stated David Wang, Senior Vice President of Radeon Applied sciences Group at AMD. “We will’t look forward to cell phone clients to expertise the good gaming experiences based mostly on our know-how collaboration.”
Whereas RDNA 2 is a primary for cellular units, the remainder of the specs on this chip are nonetheless wanting spectacular, if a bit of extra regular for the market. Contained in the Exynos 2200 is a tri-cluster association of octa-core Arm v9 CPUs. The eight cores are break up over a single Arm Cortex X2 core focussing on excessive efficiency, 4 Cortex-A510 power-efficient little cores, and three Cortex-A710 cores that sit someplace between the 2.
This appears related in construction to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC which additionally options an octa-core hybrid structure with a single 3.0 GHz Cortex-X2 core, three Cortex-A710 cores at 2.5 GHz and 4 Cortex-A510 cores at 1.8 GHz. Although, full comparisons must wait as we don’t have any particulars on clock speeds for the Exynos 2200.
Good cellular chips are all the time nice information for gaming, particularly as PC gaming will get extra cellular with issues just like the Steam Deck. Plus, AMD placing RDNA 2 on the market into extra units of any measurement is just going to strengthen the platform. On the opposite aspect of issues Apple’s M1 silicon is continuing to impress in energy so cellular units on all fronts is getting more and more aggressive.
Samsung Unpacked for the brand new traces of Galaxy telephones is due on February 8, assuming the corporate reveals up. We must always be taught extra concerning the Exynos 2200 then.
