Samsung reveals the chip that might energy the Galaxy S24

Samsung is tipped to undertake an Exynos chipset in some Galaxy S24 sequence telephones subsequent yr. Now, the corporate has confirmed that the Exynos 2400 is certainly within the works, whereas additionally previewing just a few options.

Samsung previewed the Exynos 2400 at its inaugural LSI Tech Day occasion, claiming that it’s going to ship a 1.7x improve in CPU efficiency and a 14.7x improve in AI computing efficiency over the Exynos 2200. The agency didn’t reveal extra particulars concerning the CPU tech.

This comparability is not less than partially flattered by the truth that the Exynos 2200 was utilized in 2022’s Galaxy S22 sequence and we didn’t see an Exynos 2300 this yr. So you’ll count on a extra vital efficiency increase because of skipping a launch.

However, the Exynos 2400 nonetheless appears to ship some notable enhancements usually. Samsung confirmed that the chip makes use of an Xclipse 940 GPU primarily based on AMD’s RDNA 3 expertise. It additionally confirmed a demo on the occasion to exhibit the chip’s improved ray tracing capabilities utilizing “international illumination, reflection and shadow rendering.”

New AI options coming to Galaxy S24?

Samsung’s new chipset is dipping its toes within the generative AI waters too, as the corporate showcased a brand new AI device for “upcoming telephones.” It used this device to exhibit text-to-image technology on an Exynos 2400 improvement board. Samsung confirmed to Android Authority that this text-to-image function makes use of on-device AI and doesn’t require an web connection.

We’re anticipating the Exynos chip to energy some Galaxy S24 sequence variants, so it definitely seems like S24 fashions with this chip may have on-device text-to-image technology capabilities. Will this really be accessible to the person, although? Properly, Samsung has historically dropped Exynos-exclusive options if the equal Snapdragon chip didn’t assist it (see 4K/60fps, 8K video). So we hope the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 certainly helps this performance.

Apart from the Exynos 2400, Samsung additionally demonstrated an intriguing digicam expertise dubbed Anyplace Zoom. This requires a 200MP digicam and permits customers to take 4x movies of tracked topics/objects whereas filming 1x video on the similar time. The producer says it makes use of AI-based monitoring tech to comply with topics within the 4x video, whereas additionally promising that these close-up movies received’t have picture degradation.

We’ve already seen Samsung and different manufacturers supply the flexibility to report video from two (or extra) rear cameras on the similar time. Nonetheless, implementing simultaneous 1x video and 4x tracked video by way of the identical sensor can be a cool use of 200MP cameras. So we hope to see it on the Galaxy S24 Extremely.
