Exynos 2400: Samsung confirms deca-core CPU and FSR support for Xclipse 940

Samsung slyly announced the Exynos 2400 earlier last year. At the time, it didn't reveal anything specific about the SoC, opting to use boilerplate lingo and vague performance uplift numbers. The company even avoided talking about it on stage at Galaxy Unpacked but covertly updated its website with an official spec sheet.

As confirmed by earlier benchmark listings, the Exynos 2400 packs 10 CPU. The prime Cortex-X4 core (3.20 GHz) is accompanied by two Cortex-A720 (2.9 GHz), three Cortex-A720 (2.60 GHz and four Cortex-A520 (2.0 GHz) CPU cores in a 1+2+3+4 configuration. It is the first of its kind to use Samsung Foundry's 4LPP+ process and  FOWLP (Fan Out Wafer Level Packaging) tech, which should, on paper, make it more efficient than its predecessors.

Moving on, the Exynos 2400 packs a Samsung Xclipse 940 GPU based on AMD's RDNA 3 architecture. It supports hardware-level raytracing, variable rate shading and even AI-driven upscaling tech like FidelityFX Super Resolution, commonly known as FSR. Unfortunately, Samsung has not revealed important specs like WGP count and clocks. Previous leaks suggested it could be around 1.1 GHz. Nevertheless, Samsung claims it can output 4K 120 FPS or 1440p 144 Hz video when connected to an external device.

Samsung claims the Exynos 2400's NPU is over 14x faster than the Exynos 2200. It uses a combination of 2x GNPUs (General NPU) and 2x SNPUs (Shallow NPU) to achieve this. Its exact TOPS count isn't apparent. Lastly, its ISP can support up to a 320 MP camera sensor for photography. The Exynos 2400 will power Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ versions globally, except in the US, China, Canada and Japan.
