Samsung Exynos 2200 is coming very soon. Apple recently came out with the latest A15 processor, which has been lauded for its performance. There currently aren’t any comparable chipset offerings from other cell phone providers; however, Samsung and Qualcomm are reportedly working on releasing their own versions in the near future. Today’s news is regarding Samsung’s soon-to-be-released Exynos 2200 and how it will support ray tracing to assist in producing high-resolution gaming experiences for users.
Exynos 2200 Supports Ray Tracing
Samsung’s Exynos 2200 is still a 1+3+4 design, with the support of a mega-core of Cortex X2 at 2.9GHz, large core support at 2.8GHz, and a small core at 2.2GHz. The GPU of AMD GPU at 1250MHz. The scores of the chipset are reportedly going to surpass that of Apple’s A15 Bionic but this has not been proven until the release date approaches closer. Samsung also demonstrates that Exynos 2200 supports ray-tracing by sharing picture examples on how it will affect their graphics processor.
According to Samsung, this is actually a monumental day in mobile computing because it bolsters support for real-time ray tracing in the Exynos 2200 which means this mobile processor can simulate how light bounces off objects and reflects off different surfaces. This is such a graphics-intensive task that we’re honestly not sure how Samsung will deal with heat generation – but we’re still pretty excited to see all of the potential gaming possibilities made possible by this amazing partnership!
The impressive performance capabilities of the Exynos 2200 chip have prompted Verizon, a US operator who partners with Samsung on some of its smartphones instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset be replaced with the Exynos chip. It is rare for an operator on an international level to ask for a particular model to be outfitted with a different chipset than was originally intended for it. Perhaps this is due to news heard on the grapevine about how well optimized and efficient this new chipset will turn out on Samsung’s first smartphone released.
Conclusion
Samsung has just announced that its Exynos 2200 CPU will support ray tracing, making it the first CPU to do so. This is great news for the upcoming mobile devices that will use the CPU, including the Samsung Galaxy series. Ray tracing is a new rendering technique that can greatly increase the realism of games and 3D graphics.
