Samsung Exynos 2200 4nm processor launched with Xclipse GPU by AMD
On January 18, 2022, Samsung has launched its brand new processor – Exynos 2200. There are more interesting facts that Samsung has applied with this new chipset including the new AMD RDNA 2 architecture that is based on Samsung Xclips GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to bring a boasting graphics visualization for smartphone owners.
For your information, the Samsung Exynos 2200 is launched and built with a 4 nm (nanometer) EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography) process.
Xclipse GPU:
The Exynos 2200 uses a new GPU – Xclipse. As Samsung described, the word ‘X’ in Xclipse represents Exynos and the ‘eclipse’ is just an eclipse. Therefore, the Xclipse GPU will bring an end to the old era of mobile gaming and mark the start of an exciting new chapter.
Xclipse GPU is supported by the AMD RDNA 2 architecture that enables to play of high-quality graphics and features such as hardware acceleration ray tracing (RT) and variable rate shading (VRS). These features were only accessible for the PC, laptops, and console devices.
There’s more, the Xclipse GPU has various technologies including multi-IP governor (AMIGO) to enhance the overall performance and efficiency of the GPU and its usage.
Performance:
Want something latest, don’t worry, Samsung Exynos 2200 will bring you the first in use ARMv9 CPU cores that provide better performance in speed compared to ARMv8 cores as well as improved security features.
This Samsung processor has an Octa-core CPU design with a tri-cluster structure made of a single ARM Cortex-X2 flagship core and three performance tagged with big cores – Cortex – A710 and four power management Cortex-A510 tiny cores.
We’re not done yet, the Exynos 2200 has a fast 3GPP Release 16 5G modem that will enable fast 5G access for both sub-6GHz and mmWave (millimeter wave) network bands. The new processor can absorb up to 10Gbps of network speed on our device thanks to the new E-UTRAN New Radio – Dual connectivity (EN-DC), which consists of both 4G LTE and 5G NR signals.
AI:
The AI section has also been improved with a new Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Samsung says Exynos 2200 has doubled the size of the AI performance as compared to before. The NPU now offers much higher precision with FP16 (16-bit floating point) in addition to power-efficient INT8 (8bit integer) and INT 16.
Security:
Samsung Exynos 2200 will bring you better system security with its Integrated Security Element (iSE) to store private cryptographic keys for RoT (Root of Trust).
Camera:
Let’s jump to the camera section, Exynos 2200 has a new image signal processor that supports up to 200MP of camera resolution, which is absolutely for the new flagship ISOCELL sensors. The camera ISP can now shoot 108MP resolution photos at 30FPS. The recording also supports 4K and 8K videos.
The Exynos 2200 has 8K enhanced featuring a multi-format coded (MFC) that makes the 4K at 240fps or 8K at 60fps and encodes up to 4K at 120fps or 8K at 30fps.
Immersive Viewing:
If you want to know about the display refresh rate then you should know that Samsung Exynos 2200 supports upto 144Hz of refresh rate supported by HRD10+ content quality for smoothest and fastest graphic transitions in all scenarios.
Owners of select Samsung Smart TVs, monitors, The Premiere 7 & 9 projectors, or The Freestyle 2nd Gen can stream Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Flight Simulator 2024 and hundreds of other games with Gaming Hub Xbox Game Pass.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Flight Simulator 2024 are two of the most popular games of 2024. Thanks to Samsung Gaming Hub, you don’t need to download any of the Xbox Game Pass titles, no meaning no storage required – just jump in and play.
The company has also built an engaging gameplay experience designed by fans, for fans through The Six, challenging players’ knowledge and providing another way to interact with the world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Notably, Samsung’s Gaming Hub is available on a variety of Samsung screens. It includes the AI-powered 2024 TV lineup, monitors, projectors, The Premiere, and The Freestyle 2nd Gen projector, offering instant access to console-free gaming.
Anyone with a Samsung Smart TV will be able to use their remote to jump in and play. This way, Gaming Hub provides a co-branded experience, giving Call of Duty fans another way to engage with the franchise they love.
For starters: The Six offers daily trivia where players can answer a series of six questions in competition with other players around the world. Correct answers with the fastest response time will achieve higher scores.
Samsung could launch the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone next year. The company has collaborated with LG Uplus to develop a custom smartphone. The device is said to feature Galaxy AI and LG Uplus’s AI call assistant ixi-O.
Sources citing KEDGlobal revealed that Samsung and LG Uplus working together to develop the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone. It’s a big development in the smartphone industry, while the handset is highly likely to be Korea-limited.
Samsung fans are well aware of the Galaxy AI feature suite. ixi-O is an AI-powered digital assistant developed by Korean carrier LG Uplus. The company plans to enter the smartphone market, featuring its own-developed AI assistant.
The report indicates that Samsung and LG Uplus’ ixi-O AI Phone will launch as early as next year. The development project focuses on crafting a “real AI phone” that goes beyond simply integrating AI assistant services into a smartphone.
ixi-O comes with useful features such as AI call answering, detecting voice phishing in real-time, recording and summarizing phone calls and converting voice conversation into text – all within an on-device environment.

Based on specifications, the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone will be based on a Galaxy phone available globally. The design will match with a global Galaxy smartphone, but the software may be tweaked as per the carrier’s requirements.
A custom Galaxy phone isn’t shocking or impossible in South Korea. Samsung releases Quantum, Buddy, and Jump-branded phones in the market. The company collaborates with Korean carriers to bring these devices to mainland Korea.
The carrier introduced an on-device AI-powered ixi-O assistant earlier this month. LG Uplus will initially target its consumer base for the new AI Phone. However, the AI Assistant may be expanded to a broader audience across Korea.
Samsung could use Gauss2-based Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The company’s next-gen Generative AI model is 1.5 to 3x faster than the first-gen Gauss model. The DX division is already using Gauss2 to ramp up internal productivity.
Gauss2 offers improved performance and efficiency in simultaneously handling various data types. In the previous article, we’ve demonstrated its three distinct models that cater to different purposes: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme.
Samsung says the second-gen Gauss model offers equal or superior performance in response generation than leading open-source generative AI models. That said, the Galaxy AI will become faster and smarter with the inclusion of Gauss2.
Thanks to faster processing speed, Gauss2 enables quicker AI response generation. This way, the Galaxy user won’t have to wait much time. The company stated that it will continue to expand the reach of its AI-based services across all product lines.
That said, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to boast Gauss2-based Galaxy AI. This upgrade will result in even faster processing of tasks and execution. Features like composition, image generation, and translation would benefit from Gauss2.
Earlier, we broke the news that Samsung is crafting an advanced AI technology. The Gauss2 press release indicates that the future Galaxy AI iteration could be integrated with knowledge graph technology to offer relevant results.
The Galaxy S24 series also uses Google’s Gemini Nano AI model. The fruitful collaboration offers futuristic capabilities on Galaxy devices. Samsung is rumored to use an enhanced version of Gemini Nano across the Galaxy S25 lineup.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s development may have indulged Gauss2 capabilities on the Galaxy S25 series. Integrated with new processors and optimized software, the company’s AI model would offer faster, reliable, and smarter results.
