The company may opt for the Exynos 2400 processor in the Galaxy phones released in Africa, Europe, and select Asian regions, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 could be utilized in phones sold in China, Korea, and the US. Today, the technical specifications of the Exynos 2400 processor have been disclosed.
Exynos 2400 to feature a 10-core CPUAccording to a report from China, the Exynos 2400 chip is fabricated using Samsung Foundry's enhanced 4nm manufacturing process. This SoC will employ a 10-core CPU comprising a Cortex-X4 CPU core clocked at 3.1 GHz, two Cortex-A720 CPU cores clocked at 2.9 GHz, three Cortex-A720 CPU cores clocked at 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex-A520 CPU cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. For comparison, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is purported to have an 8-core CPU with one Cortex-X4 core, five Cortex-A720 cores, and two Cortex-A520 cores.
Similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Exynos 2400 is said to be compatible only with 64-bit applications, meaning it cannot run older 32-bit applications. This chip is rumored to be compatible with UFS 4.0 internal storage and LPDDR5X RAM with 8.5Gbps bandwidth. The ISP (Image Signal Processor) integrated within this SoC will be capable of processing single-camera resolutions up to 320MP and recording 8K@60fps video.
Regarding graphics, the Exynos 2400 is rumored to feature the Xclipse 940 GPU, doubling the number of cores compared to the Xclipse 920 in the Exynos 2200. This means it will possess 6 WGP (workgroup processors) instead of 3 WGP like in the Exynos 2200. Since each WGP has two CUs (Compute Units or cores), the Exynos 2400's Xclipse 940 GPU will have 12 GPU cores. Theoretically, this translates to the Exynos 2400 delivering graphics performance twice as powerful as the Exynos 2200. Let's wait and see!
