Can you play on mobile with quality similar to console games? That’s what Samsung promises in its new chip, the Exynos 2200, which will likely be used in the Galaxy S22 line of smartphones, scheduled to be launched in early February. The company wants to take mobile games to a new level, with state-of-the-art graphics.
The processor’s GPU (video unit), named Xclipse 920, will support ray tracing (light tracking) – essential for PC and console games with more realistic virtual environments, using artificial intelligence algorithms to create real-time lighting effects that simulate the real world. It will be the first time smartphones will have this technology.
No wonder: the graphics are based on AMD’s RDNA 2 microarchitecture, which equips consoles like PlayStation 5, the Xbox One X and the Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards for PCs.
The Xclipse 920 also has VRS functionality ( Variable Rate Shading), which optimizes the rendering of scenes, bringing more sharpness to nearby objects. This is another technology that used to be exclusive to PC and console games, but which already equips the Snapdragon 888 chip, launched in 2020.
The name of the GPU is a combination of the X (which represents Exynos) and the word eclipse. “Like an eclipse, it will put an end to the old era of mobile gaming, starting a new and exciting chapter,” Samsung said in the announcement.

Besides games
The big difference is the quality of graphics for games, but Exynos 2200 has much more to offer. to offer. With only 4nm (nanometers) lithography, Samsung’s new chip is based on the ninth generation of the ARM architecture (Armv9) – a considerable improvement over the Exynos 2100, which equips the Galaxy S21 line.
It has eight processing cores: four Cortex-A510 for lighter tasks, three Cortex-A710, focused on performance and efficiency, and one Cortex-X2, the most powerful, for tasks that demand more computing power. Artificial intelligence (AI) processing is up to twice as fast as its predecessor.
It is also equipped with a new modem 5G , which can reach speeds of up to 10 Gb/s, at frequencies below 6GHz (sub-6) and millimeter waves (mmWave). The image processing supports cameras of up to seven sensors, or a single one of up to 200 megapixels, and videos in 8K and 4K HDR at 30 frames per second.
The Exynos 2200 is already being mass produced and, by all indications, will debut in the Galaxy S22 line. It is not yet known whether the Brazilian version will be equipped with the new processor from Samsung or Qualcomm.
