Samsung delivers a 2x GPU performance boost on their Exynos 2400 SOC with RDNA 3 graphics
Samsung has revealed their new Galaxy S24 series of smartphones, and in many regions much of the series will be powered by Samsung’s new Exynos 2400 SOC. While Samsung’s S24 Ultra smartphone will exclusively use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen3 SOC, lower-tier models will feature a either Qualcomm or Samsung chips depending on your region.
With their new Exynos 2400 SOC, Samsung will be using their own 4nm LPP+ lithography node to create their new SOC. Additionally the CPU will feature newer ARM CPU cores and a new Xclipse graphics component. Likes its predecessor, Samsung’s Xclipse graphics unit is based on AMD’s RDNA graphics architecture. Specifically, the 2400 will use a Xclipse 940 RDNA 3 based GPU.
