Samsung announced the Exynos 2200-soc, presumably for use in its Galaxy S22 smartphones. Samsung calls the AMD-developed GPU with ray tracing and Xclipse variable rate shaders. Exact specs are missing.

The Xclipse GPU, a Portmanteau for the X of Exynos and the word ‘eclipse’, is based on AMD’s RDNA2 architecture. This makes ray tracing and variable rate shading possible in mobile games, among other things. Samsung doesn’t say anything about how different the performance is compared to competitors or previous socs.

Like the competing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and MediaTek Dimensity 9000, the Exynos 2200 uses ARM Cortex X2, Cortex A710, and Cortex A510 cores. They are all based on the ARM Cortex v9 architecture. There is support for memory up to Lpddr5 and not the newer Lpddr5x, while storage is up to UFS 3.1.

The ISP supports up to seven camera sensors on the device, while a single sensor can have up to 200 megapixels. You can record videos up to 8K at 30 frames per second.
