Samsung has officially launched its flagship Exynos 2400 processor and it is rumored to be the first to be used in the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
However, since the Exynos chipset has received mixed reactions among consumers, some users may be hesitant to see it return in the Galaxy S24 series, especially after Samsung's decision to use only the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon in the Galaxy S23 series globally this year. Now a report has revealed some important information regarding the use of Exynos and Snapdragon processors in the Galaxy S24 series. Let's take a look at what information emerged.
Exynos
2400 processor may be used in Samsung Galaxy S24 series
According
to a report by Korea's The Elec, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will only use the
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor regardless of country. On the other hand,
the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus models will have Exynos 2400
or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips depending on the country. As for the news, the
Exynos 2400 variants of the standard and Plus models will be launched in
Africa, Asia (including South Korea), Europe and Latin America, while the
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 version will arrive in North America (Canada and the US).
This
is similar to the approach Samsung followed with the Galaxy S22 series last
year. The South Korean company is reportedly in the final stages of deciding
how to sell the various variants of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 series of
phones. So Samsung is unlikely to change strategy now.
Features
of Exynos 2400
The
new Exynos 2400 chip can deliver 70% faster CPU speed and 14.7x faster AI
processing than the previous generation Exynos 2300. It has the Xclipse 940
GPU, which is based on AMD's latest RDNA3 architecture. Samsung hasn't said
anything about the improvements in GPU performance yet, but they claim that the
Exynos 2400 chip will offer greatly improved ray tracing performance in gaming.
But
based on what has been seen in the past, the Exynos 2400's GPU is unlikely to
be as good as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The Samsung-developed chip is
built on the company's foundry's 4-nanometer LPP+ node and has a 10-core CPU.
On the other hand, Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip is expected to use the latest node from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). However, some reports claim that different versions of the chip may be based on both the 3-nanometer and 4-nanometer processes. More details about the process will be revealed when Qualcomm unveils it at the Snapdragon Summit this month.
