Samsung may have skipped a chipset launch this year, but for 2024, the company has officially unveiled its newest high-end SoC, the Exynos 2400, bringing in multiple improvements over the Exynos 2200. The new chip was unveiled during the company’s System LSI Tech Day, and while all the details are not available, let us discuss what Samsung talked about during the announcement.

Samsung did not provide specifics on the CPU cluster of the Exynos 2400, but earlier rumors claim that the SoC will have a 10-core configuration. It is also reported that the newest chipset has been fabricated on the company’s 4nm LPP+ process, delivering improved power efficiency over the 4nm LPP (Low Power Plus), which was used to mass produce the Tensor G3 fueling the Pixel 8’s and Pixel 8 Pro’s innards.

The company states that a live demo was showcased during the event, showing the capabilities of the RDNA3-based Xclipse 940 GPU and its ray tracing attributes. Though no numbers were provided, Samsung states that the new graphics processor delivered visual effects such as global illumination, reflection, and shadow rendering. The A17 Pro also supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, so it will be interesting to see how both chipsets perform against one another.

Perhaps the biggest performance this year is in the CPU department, with Samsung claiming that the Exynos 2400 can deliver a substantial 70 percent improvement in compute and a 14.7 times increase in AI performance compared to the Exynos 2200. Samsung also introduced a new AI tool designed for upcoming handsets and demonstrated text-to-image AI generation using the Exynos 2400 reference board.

The new chipset will likely power the Galaxy S24 lineup next year, but there is no mention that
