Samsung held its annual winter Unpacked presentation yesterday, the place it unveiled three Galaxy S22 collection smartphones. The fashions acquired an Exynos 2200 SoC, constructed on 4-nm course of know-how and AMD graphics. Earlier than the announcement of the processor, there have been optimistic forecasts within the community that when it comes to efficiency it could be no worse than its rivals and will even surpass them.

The extent of expectation was excessive. However as the discharge approached, alarming messages started to appear on the community that one shouldn’t count on a lot from Exynos 2200. Skepticism was added by the truth that the corporate even postponed the discharge of Exynos 2200 to a later date, in addition to the truth that on the presentation of the chip it stored silent about its actual efficiency.

The figures obtained by the insider TechAltar could disappoint those that believed that the corporate would lastly study from its lengthy checklist of errors within the creation of chips and supply a great chip that can shock with efficiency and vitality effectivity.

Exynos 2200 loses to Snapdragon eight Gen 1 in nearly each method

Exams confirmed that when it comes to processor efficiency, the Exynos 2200 is barely 5% higher than its predecessor, the Exynos 2100. However objectively, few individuals anticipated a major enhance in CPU efficiency, essentially the most fascinating query was how highly effective the Xclipse 920 video accelerator got here out. It might assist Samsung create highly effective graphics. However, alas, no. The Xclipse 920 outperforms the ARM Mali-G78 MP14 graphics subsystem discovered within the Exynos 2100 by 17%.

That’s the place there is no such thing as a disappointment, it’s when it comes to the effectivity of the neural unit. Right here the rise compared with the earlier era was a powerful 115%. It appears just like the Exynos 2200 will lose the battle to the Snapdragon eight Gen 1; and probably the Dimensity 9000. We’re ready for the Exynos 2300.

When Samsung and AMD first confirmed they had been collaborating on a GPU for the Exynos chipset, expectations had been excessive. There have even been rumors that the brand new Exynos 2200 might be extra highly effective than Apple’s present chipset; which is historically the most effective within the trade. However, judging by the primary assessments, Samsung’s flagship chipset offered at present continues to be inferior to the competing resolution from Qualcomm.

Samsung has lastly unveiled the Exynos 2200 this yr. As anticipated, it makes use of the most recent Armv9 cores, that are quicker and extra energy-efficient than earlier era options. The chip is made in response to the 4nm course of know-how; and carries the Xclipse 920 GPU on the AMD RDNA 2 structure. Sadly, this didn’t permit it to surpass the Snapdragon eight Gen 1.
