Samsung shares first details of Exynos 2400 soc

Samsung has shared the first details of the Exynos 2400 soc. The biggest improvements are in the CPU cluster, AMD’s RDNA 3 GPU and the AI ​​chip on the SoC, which makes image generators possible, among other things.

The CPU cluster is 70 percent faster than the 2022 Exynos 2200, reports Samsung. Because the manufacturer only uses Qualcomm Socs for the Galaxy S23 phones, there is no Exynos ‘2300’ and it is therefore a step of two processor generations. Nevertheless, the step seems relatively large, although Exynos Socs have never had the fastest CPU cores in recent years.

The GPU is an Xclipse 940, which Samsung makes in collaboration with AMD and which is based on the RDNA 3 architecture. This should, among other things, enable faster ray tracing compared to current SoCs and the previous Exynos 2200.

AI calculations should be almost fifteen times faster than on the Exynos 2200, making it possible, among other things, to generate images based on text commands. There will also be a feature called Zoom Anyplace, which works in combination with a 200-megapixel sensor to take close-ups with up to 4x magnification.

Samsung did not announce all the details of the SoC yet. For example, it is unknown which process Samsung uses to make it, which cores it contains and at what clock speeds they run, how exactly the SoC is constructed and when it will go into mass production.
