Samsung Exynos series of processors are reportedly all set to return on the flagship Galaxy S series of smartphones. Notably, Samsung has signed a deal with Qualcomm, as part of which the future Samsung smartphones are to be powered by Snapdragon SoCs. This is why the Samsung Galaxy S23 series was launched only with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 globally. If the latest leaks are to be believed, the Exynos 2400 is a deca-core processor with the new Xclipse 940 GPU and will power the base Galaxy S24 model. Here’s all you need to know.
Samsung Exynos 2400 is Reportedly a Deca-Core Processor with Xclipse 940 GPU
The latest Exynos 2400 specifications leak comes from Revegnus or @Tech_Reve on Twitter. The tipster has tweeted the complete specifications of the upcoming Samsung flagship processor. According to the leak, the Exynos 2400 will flaunt a 10-core cluster with one Cortex-X4 super core running at 3.10GHz, while the remaining nine belong to Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520. Notably, ARM is yet to announce the Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520 cores.
The leak confirms that the CPU will include the brand-new Xclipse 940 GPU. It is a direct successor of the Xclipse 920 GPU clustered with Exynos 2200 on the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. A past report revealed that the Xclipse 940 is based on the same AMD RDNA2 architecture but will flaunt 12 compute units, unlike three on the Xclipse 920 GPU. The leak also states that the new GPU will feature 768SP (stream processors), 48TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32ROPs (render output units).
Other leaked details include 4nm architecture, LPDDR5X RAM support, UFS 4.0 storage standard, 60FPS 8K recording, 320MP camera sensor support, and more. As of now, the leak only reveals the on-paper specifications of the upcoming Samsung flagship processor. There’s no word on the real-world performance or benchmarking results yet. But we can expect synthetic benchmark results to leak soon and be better than they were for the Exynos 2200.
Yet another tipster who goes by RGCloudS on Twitter has claimed that Samsung will launch the base Galaxy S24 model with the new Exynos 2400 processor. On the other hand, the Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra will be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. This way, Samsung will be able to keep its deal with Snapdragon and also stage the return of the Exynos chipsets on the flagship Galaxy S series of smartphones.
These leaks come almost ten months ahead of the speculated February 2024 launch timeline of the Galaxy S24 series. Are you excited about the upcoming flagship? Do you prefer Snapdragon or Exynos chipset? Let us know in the comments section below.
