Samsung Galaxy S24 Could Be Powered by Exynos 2400
As anticipation builds for the release of Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones, the Galaxy S24 series, details about the chips powering these devices continue to emerge. While it remains uncertain whether the Galaxy S24 will rely on a combination of Snapdragon and Exynos chipsets like its predecessors, one thing is clear: the silicons in the S24 will be all-new and offer superior performance compared to the Galaxy S23’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 “for Galaxy” chip. As we edge closer to 2024, more information is surfacing about these future chips, shedding light on their capabilities.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Getting Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3?
A recent rumour claims to have uncovered additional details about Qualcomm’s forthcoming chip, tentatively known as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. According to the rumour, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will feature a 1+5+2 CPU core configuration, deviating from the previously rumoured 1+2+3+2 core setup. Unfortunately, the source (@UniverseIce) does not specify which CPU cores the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will utilize, and details regarding CPU frequencies remain unknown at this time.
For reference, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 boasts a 1+2+2+3 CPU configuration, incorporating a mix of Cortex-X3, Cortex-A715, Cortex-A710, and Cortex-A510 cores.Another intriguing aspect of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, as per the latest rumour, is its reported 10MB of L3 cache. This is an upgrade from the 8MB of L3 cache found in the existing Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. L3 cache is a specialized memory bank integrated into the CPU, designed to enhance performance by reducing the need for the CPU to access data from RAM, thereby accelerating processes.
In addition, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC is said to feature the Adreno 750 graphics chip, which is expected to offer significantly improved performance compared to the Adreno 740 found in the current generation. Overall, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip has the potential to maintain the efficiency of its predecessor while delivering enhanced performance across various aspects.
Then there’s the possibility of it being powered by the Exynos 2400 in selected regions. While details are unconfirmed, existing info suggests that the Exynos 2400 will have a new RDNA2-based GPU with 6WGP, and it’s said to have four times more compute units than the Xclipse 920 from the Exynos 2200. Apart from that, it’s said to have a 10-core CPU consisting on one Cortex-X4 Prime, two Cortex-A720, Cortex-A720 with lower clock speeds, and four energy efficient Cortex-A520 cores.
Samsung is anticipated to unveil the Galaxy S24 flagship series in early 2024. However, considering the possibility of Samsung hosting its next Unpacked event earlier than usual in 2023, it is too early to predict the exact launch plans for the Galaxy S24 next year. Nevertheless, most markets are expected to receive variants powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
As excitement continues to build around the Galaxy S24, tech enthusiasts and Samsung fans eagerly await further updates and official announcements from the company. Stay tuned for more information as the Galaxy S24’s release draws nearer.
Pokdepinion: I’m personally okay with either chip if they are reliable enough for daily use. If it saps the battery life or gives too much heat, that’s when we’re gonna have problems but let’s give them a chance.
