Samsung Xclipse 920 vs Qualcomm Adreno 642 vs Samsung Xclipse 940

Samsung Xclipse 920

The Samsung Xclipse 920 GPU is an integrated graphics card in the Samsung Exynos 2200 SoC that is used in Android based smartphones and tablets. It was introduced in some models of the Galaxy S21 line. The iGPU is the first that uses an architecture by AMD (RDNA 2, like the Radeon 660M in the Ryzen 6000 chips). Current information from Geekbench ML points to 3 CUs (=192 shaders).

The performance is slightly below current high end iGPUs for phones like the Adreno 730 (Snapdrageon 8 Gen 1) or Apple A15 GPU, but still sufficient for all mobile games in 2022.

The Xclipse 920 is produced in the modern 4nm EUV process at Samsung (as its integrated in the Exynos 2200).

Qualcomm Adreno 642

The Qualcomm Adreno 642 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G SoC. The chip will be available from mid 2021 and will be used mainly in upper mid-range Android devices.

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 642 GPU offers a 50% improved performance over the Adreno 620, its predecessor, which is integrated in the Snapdragon 768G SoC. This is also thanks to the fast LPDDR4X-4200 memory support of the SoC.

The Adreno 642 supports OpenCL 2.0 FP, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

The Snapdragon 780G is manufactured in the modern 5nm LPPE process with EUV at Samsung that should provide a good power efficiency.

Samsung Xclipse 940

The Samsung Xclipse 940 is a graphics chip for smartphones and tablets, integrated in the Samsung Exynos 2400 SoC (iGPU). It is based on the AMD RDNA 3 architecture and includes hardware ray tracing support. #

The performance is similar or slightly better than the older Adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

The Exynos 2400 is the first Exynos processor to use a Fan-out Wafer Level Package (FOWLP) to boost thermal management.

The SoC is manufactured in the 4nm process at Samsung.
