Samsung Confirms Exynos 2200 Will Bring Ray Tracing To Galaxy S22 Next Year

Earlier this year, AMD CEO Lisa Su confirmed her collaboration with Samsung to bring ray tracing to phones. Samsung has now announced in an article on Webio that the Exynos 2200 will be the first to support ray tracing.

The Exynos 2200 will feature a GPU based on AMD RDNA 2 architectures called “Voyager”. AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture is used not only in their RX 6000 GPUs, but also powers graphics on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5000 ‘Chagall’ HEDT processors reportedly delayed until 2022

Exynos 2200 with ray tracing support could change the face of mobile gaming

The chipset itself is called “Pamir” and could be announced earlier next year or later this year. Similar to the Exynos 2100, the Exynos 2200 would feature a single high-performance core, three mid-range cores, and four efficiency cores. As for the RDNA 2 GPU, we’re looking at 384 stream processors, which hints at six spoke accelerators.

There’s no doubt that ray tracing support is going to give the Exynos 2200 an edge over Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 898 when it comes to gaming. The chipset is expected to power the global Galaxy S22 series of smartphones and the Galaxy Tab. S8 Ultra.

Based on all the rumors and tips we’ve heard so far, the Galaxy S22 series will go official, later this year or earlier this year. So far we’ve tried to track all the leaks and will keep you posted for more.

Getting back to ray tracing and RDNA 2, we’ve also heard rumors that AMD is bringing the RDNA 2 architecture into a more affordable Galaxy A series, but we’re still waiting to hear more about that.
