samsung It seemed to have the door open to a possible SoC implementation Exynos 2400 on some models of the smartphone range Galaxy S24However, this idea may start to fade away if the rumors of poor GPU performance are true.

The trajectory of the Eynos SoC hasn’t been as good as Samsung would have liked, so the South Korean giant has decided to stop designing high-end models to completely surrender to Qualcomm when it comes to its flagship smartphones. Despite the setback, the company decided to resume the development of high-end ARM-based processors with the Exynos 2400, which will repeat the pattern of using AMD RDNA graphics technology.

The Exynos 2400 will implement the Xclipse 940 GPU, based on the Radeon RDNA 2 architecture. Initially, Samsung and AMD promised them joy in terms of graphics performance, but the latest rumors spread through a leak oreXDA indicate it now its performance is 20 to 30 percent lower than Adreno 750 which will be incorporated into the future Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Seems the original goal was to achieve a working speed of 1.7 GHzbut a failure in the RDNA 2 architecture would make it impossible to maintain the stated frequency, so Samsung would make the choice lower the target to 1.1 or 1.2 gigahertz. The latest rumors about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 GPU suggest that it will run at a speed of 1 GHz (frequency is not the only factor to consider when it comes to hardware power).

As for the implementation of the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung would for now bet on using only the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for all variants of the Ultra model in all regions, while the standard and Plus models mainly in South Korea. China and other Asian countries may use Exynos 2400, while the rest of the world would implement Qualcomm’s SoC.

Positively it seems so The Exynos 2400 CPU lives up to expectationsbut the fact that Samsung considered improving the screen in the Galaxy S24 Ultra could leave the door closed to implementing its own SoC in the said smartphone model.

Are we at the dawn of another Samsung failure in its bid to compete with Qualcomm? It is important to take into account that the information provided by OreXDA has no official support, but it is no less true that the South Korean giant has had a hard time competing with its direct rivals, and here it should not only be Qualcomm noted, but also TSMC, which is much better placed in semiconductor manufacturing (or to simplify chips).
