Samsung Exynos 2200 Overview
CPU
Samsung’s Exynos 2200 is manufactured using the company’s 4nm EUV process. It features an octa-core CPU design and uses Armv9 CPU cores.
There are three CPU clusters that consist of one high-powered Cortex-X2 “flagship core,” three Cortex-A710 cores for balanced performance, and four more efficient Cortex-A510 cores.

GPU
The GPU on the Exynos 2200 is made in collaboration with AMD. Samsung has branded the GPU “Xclipse,” and it's based on AMD RDNA 2 Architecture.
With the high-performance AMD RDNA 2 architecture as its backbone, the Xclipse inherits advanced graphic features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing (RT) and variable rate shading (VRS) that were previously only available on PCs, laptops, and consoles.
“AMD RDNA 2 graphics architecture extends power-efficient, advanced graphics solutions to PCs, laptops, consoles, automobiles and now to mobile phones. Samsung’s Xclipse GPU is the first result of multiple planned generations of AMD RDNA graphics in Exynos SoCs. We can’t wait for mobile phone customers to experience the great gaming experiences based on our technology collaboration.” - David Wang, Senior Vice President of Radeon Technologies Group at AMD

Other Features
The Exynos 2200 offers more powerful on-device artificial intelligence (AI) with an upgraded NPU. According to Samsung, the NPU’s performance has doubled compared to its predecessor, allowing more calculations in parallel and enhancing the AI performance.
For connectivity, the Exynos 2200 integrates a fast 3GPP Release 16 5G modem supporting both sub-6GHz and mmWave (millimeter wave) spectrum bands. With E-UTRAN New Radio – Dual Connectivity (EN-DC), which utilizes both 4G LTE and 5G NR signals, the modem can boost the speed up to 10Gbps.
Samsung has also redesigned the image signal processor (ISP) architecture on the Exynos 2200. It now supports camera sensors of up to 200 megapixels. Furthermore, the chip features an Integrated Secure Element (iSE) to store private cryptographic keys as well as to play a role as RoT (Root of Trust) for security.
