The 10-core Exynos 2400 chip has twice the graphics power

After employing a Snapdragon chip for the Galaxy S23 for the first time, it has been claimed that Samsung will use Exynos chips for at least part of the Galaxy S24 phones released in 2019. The Exynos 2400 processor could be used in Galaxy S24 series phones that are released in Africa, Europe, and parts of Asia, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU could be used in Galaxy S24 series phones that are sold in the United States of America, South Korea, and China. The technical details of the Exynos 2400 CPU have just recently become public knowledge.

According to a rumor from China, the Exynos 2400 is manufactured utilizing an upgraded version of the 4nm fabrication method that Samsung Foundry uses. It would appear that the chipset utilizes a 10-core CPU with one Cortex-X4 CPU core clocked at 3.1GHz, two Cortex-A720 CPU cores clocked at 2.9GHz, three Cortex-A720 CPU cores rated at 2.6GHz, and four Cortex-A520 CPU cores clocked at 1.8GHz. Additionally, the chipset has a 3.1GHz Cortex-A720 CPU core. In comparison, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is rumored to have an octa-core CPU that includes one Cortex-X4 CPU core, five Cortex-A720 CPU cores, and merely two Cortex-A520 CPU cores.

The Exynos 2400 is believed to be only compatible with 64-bit applications, just like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3; it cannot run 32-bit versions of previous applications. It has been speculated that the processor will be compatible with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, both of which have a bandwidth of 8.5Gbps. According to reports, the built-in ISP (Image Signal Processor) processing images from the camera sensor can handle up to 320MP camera sensors and playback up to 8K films at 60 frames per second.

According to rumors, the graphics processing unit (GPU) of the Exynos 2400 will be the Xclipse 940 GPU. This GPU will have 2 times as many GPU cores as the Xclipse 920 GPU found in the Exynos 2200. It most likely indicates that it features six WGPs, also known as workgroup processors, instead of the Exynos 2200’s three WGPs. Since each WGP contains two compute units (also known as cores), the Xclipse 940 GPU found in the Exynos 2400 would have 12 GPU cores. That should theoretically mean twice the graphics performance compared to the Exynos 2200, which should bring the Exynos 2400 to the level of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but we still don’t know the clock speeds of these RDNA2 cores so the performance might be a lot more than that.

That should bring the Exynos 2400 to the level of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. In addition, it is reported that the Exynos 2400 has improved AI processing capability compared to its predecessor. Regarding network connectivity, the new Exynos chip is rumored to be pre-installed with the Exynos 5300 modem, which was first introduced earlier this year. On a 5G network, it can achieve downlink speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second. Uplink rates can reach a maximum of 3.87 gigabits per second. In addition to being compatible with mmWave and sub-6GHz networks, it can support NSA and SA 5G networks.

This is comparable to the 5G modem in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 device. It is also reported that the modem is compatible with two-way satellite communication, which allows users to make and receive calls and messages in times of emergency, even when there is no cellular network in the area. We anticipate the Exynos 2400 will support more connectivity technologies such as BDSm Galileo, GLONASS, GPS, Wi-Fi 6E/Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFS, and USB 3.2 Type-C.
