Samsung Exynos 2400 may be manufactured using a 4nm process
As the yield rate of the 4nm process escalates, Samsung is increasingly inclined to integrate the Exynos 2400 into the Galaxy S24 series. According to Wccftech, Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy S24 series will reintroduce a dual-platform strategy, offering versions equipped with the Exynos 2400 and the third-generation Snapdragon 8, the former being designated for Europe and certain specific regions.
It is understood that the CPU component of the Exynos 2400 will transition to the latest Arm V9.2 cores, exclusively supporting 64-bit, rumored to adopt a quad-cluster design: one ultra-large core (Cortex-X4@3.10GHz), two high-frequency large cores (Cortex-A720@2.90GHz), three mid-frequency large cores (Cortex-A720@2.60GHz), and four smaller cores (Cortex-A520@1.80GHz), culminating in a ten-core configuration. For its GPU, the device employs the Xclipse 940 based on the RDNA 2 architecture, boasting 6 WGPs and 12 CUs, effectively doubling the scale of the Xclipse 920 (3 CUs) utilized in the Exynos 2200.
Furthermore, the Exynos 2400 supports 8.5Gbps-speed LPDDR5X memory; UFS 4.0 storage compatibility; is equipped with the Exynos 5300 modem, achieving a maximum 10Gbps downstream speed and an impressive 3.87Gbps upstream speed, while also endorsing bidirectional satellite communication and the cutting-edge 3GPP 5G Version 18 network. It also supports imaging up to 320-megapixel and 8K@60fps video capture. Enhanced AI applications are also a notable upgrade.
Crafted using Samsung’s refined 4nm process, the Exynos 2400 promises tangible improvements in performance and power efficiency compared to its predecessor, the Exynos 2200. Earlier reports also suggested that Samsung plans to deploy the I-Cube packaging technology for the Exynos 2400, considered a derivative of the Fo-WLP (Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging) which enables reduced chip thickness while amplifying its power efficiency. Speculations among industry insiders posit that Samsung’s shift towards the I-Cube might be an initiative to curtail costs.
