A Chinese leak sheds light on the main technical specifications of the future Exynos 2400 processor. In development at Samsung, the latter should notably equip the future Galaxy S24.
We probably won’t see the color right away, but the Exynos 2400 is in any case promising. A post shared on the Chinese version of Antutu indeed allows us to have a first glimpse of the technical specifications of the next mobile chip from Samsung, which should equip part of the future Galaxy S24.
Unlike the current S23 (equipped only with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors), Samsung’s next flagships could indeed come back to a different configuration from one continent to another. The Exynos 2400 would thus equip models distributed in Europe, Africa and certain Asian countries, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 would be its preferred side for devices sold in the United States, Korea or even on the Chinese market.
Samsung Exynos 2400, what to expect?
Be that as it may, we learned this week that the Exynos 2400 would have some underfoot. Engraved in 4 nm by Samsung Foundry, the Korean giant’s new SoC could notably count on a total of 10 CPU cores (combining a Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.1 GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.9 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6 GHz, and finally four Cortex-A520 CPU cores at 1.8 GHz). For comparison, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 should total 8 CPU cores “only” (combining one Cortex-X4 core, five Cortex-A720 cores and two Cortex-A520 cores).
The two chips, on the other hand, would both be compatible only with 64-bit applications, which would prevent them from launching native 32-bit applications natively, notes SamMobile.
For the rest, the Exynos 2400 would support the UFS 4.0 standard and LPDDR5X RAM with a bandwidth of 8.5 Gbps. The chip would also integrate an ISP (Image Signal Processor) capable of managing video capture in 8K at 60 FPS, as well as 320 Mpx photo sensors.
On the GPU side too, Samsung would have placed the cursors quite high for its future Exynos 2400. The SoC would thus have an Xclipse 940 graphics part offering up to 12 RDNA2 GPU cores, i.e. twice as many as the Exynos 2200 and its Xclipse 920. With this new configuration, the chip would catch up some of its delay in terms of graphics and could deliver performance equivalent to that of the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in this field. Note, however, that we do not know the frequencies applied to these cores. With high frequencies, this graphics part integrated into the Exynos 2400 could deliver an even higher level of power.
The Exynos 2400 would finally benefit from better AI capabilities and an Exynos 5300 modem, also integrated, allowing a 5G connection of up to 10 Gbps in the downlink and up to 3.87 Gbps in the uplink. There would also be support for 5G mmWave and sub-6GHz. Perhaps more interestingly, this chip-in-chip would also be able to offer two-way satellite connectivity for emergency calls and texting when there is no cellular network. A feature mentioned by the rumor for a few months already.
