Exynos 2200 to have 30% higher peak, 20% higher sustained performance than the 2100
The launch of the Exynos 2200 will be a major event for smartphone graphics â the industry tends to lose GPU providers, not gain new ones. The chipsetâs GPU will be based on AMDâs RDNA 2 architecture that is used in its APUs, graphics cards and (in modified form) the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One Series consoles.
The biggest question is how the architecture will handle the transition to the constrained TDPs of mobile chipsets. Leakster @FrontTron shared numbers showing the performance uplift compared to the current Exynos 2100.
The peak performance will improve by 31-34% while sustained performance will go up by 17-20%. Note that these numbers are based on pre-release hardware and software and may be different for the final product.
Itâs hard to say how the Exynos 2200 GPU will compare to the Adreno inside the new Snapdragon 898. The Exynos is expected to pull a big lead over the outgoing Snapdragon 888 in 3DMark Wild Life, but we donât have reliable data for 888 vs. 898 performance.
The AMD GPU will offer some unique features such as ray tracing, so raw performance doesnât tell the whole story. Ray tracing is now standard in high-end PC and console games, which has allowed game devs to gain a lot of experience with it.
