Samsung announces 4nm process SoC 'Exynos 2200' equipped with AMD's RDNA2 architecture Xclipse GPU, enabling ray tracing and variable rate shading with hardware acceleration



On January 18, 2022, Samsung announced the Exynos 2200 mobile processor equipped with the GPU ' Xclipse ' that uses AMD's

RDNA2 architecture. The Exynos 2200 is the first mobile processor to support ray tracing and variable rate shading, and Samsung has revealed that it is already in mass production.

The CPU of Exynos 2200 is equipped with 1 Arm Cortex X2 as a flagship core, 3 Arm Cortex-A710 as a high-performance core, and 4 Arm Cortex-A510 as a high-efficiency core, for a total of 8 cores. .. Both are designed on Arm's Arm v9 architecture and are manufactured on a 4nm process.

And the Exynos 2200 GPU is AMD's RDNA2 architecture-based 'Xclipse,' which enables hardware-accelerated ray tracing and variable rate shading on mobile devices.



Ray tracing is a technology that faithfully simulates how light behaves physically in the real world. It calculates the movement and color characteristics of light hitting and bouncing off objects, making the scattering of light in the game more realistic and providing realistic lighting effects to rendered scenes, as well as characters on glass and water. It also enables depictions that are naturally reflected and reflected.

The shading rate is the

number of light sources and shadows processed for each pixel . The higher the shading rate, the higher the image quality, but the greater the load on the GPU. Variable rate shading is a technology that optimizes the GPU workload by applying low shading rates to areas that do not affect overall quality. Variable rate shading allows for more room on the GPU for smoother gameplay.

In addition, the NPU (Neural Network Processing Unit) installed in the Exynos 2200 has twice the performance of the conventional one. And the ISP (image signal processor) that processes images supports sensors of up to 200 megapixels and 4K / HDR or 8K video, and it is possible to connect up to 7 image sensors. It also integrates a power-efficient AV1 decoder that can decode 4K / 240fps or 8K / 60fps video and encode 4K / 120fps or 8K / 30fps video with a multi-format codec (MFC). that's right. In addition, the display supports HDR10 + and a refresh rate of 144Hz.



In terms of communication, the Exynos 2200 is equipped with a 3GPP Release16 5G modem that supports the sub 6GHz band and millimeter wave band, achieving high-speed communication of up to 10Gbps. In terms of security,

Samsung says it has an Integrated Secure Element (iSE) that meets the Root of Trust , allowing user data encryption to be securely shared only within a secure domain.



In addition, Samsung is about the origin of the name of the new GPU called 'Xclipse', 'Xclipse is,' X 'representing the Exynos, such as a solar eclipse and lunar eclipse food is a combination of the' eclipse 'that represents the .Xclipse Mobile It puts an end to the old days of the game and marks the beginning of an exciting new era.
