Samsung introduced its Exynos 2200 chipset and it goes without saying that there is a lot of hype around it. This is also because it is supposed to be an example of a new era, i.e. at least in the form of Samsung's cooperation with AMD. After months of leaks, speculation, and various expectations, we now know that "playtime is over." But Samsung is somehow unctuous, unsalty and appropriately mysterious in its claims.
The Exynos 2200 SoC is manufactured using a 4nm EUV process and the chipset has a tri-cluster octa-core CPU configuration that is impressive in its own right, although the highlight here is rather the new AMD RDNA920-based Xclipse 2 GPU. And that's especially because the GPU performance was the weak point of the previous Exynos. The new GPU features hardware ray-tracing and VRS (Variable Rate Shading), so Samsung claims it delivers console-quality graphics on mobile.
And how many times have we heard this statement in the past? Is there any point in getting excited now? Yes and no. This time we are talking about AMD - a company known, among other things, for its high-end desktop GPUs. Exynos 2200 can really be something special. The trailer, which is supposed to generate a proper buzz around the Exynos 2200, will surely catch the viewer's attention with its 3D renderings of sci-fi bars and alien beings, when all of it together looks very promising indeed. But maybe too promising to be true because it's an ad, and that's what ads usually do.

Playtime is over
The video presented by Samsung, which is supposed to present the graphics capabilities of the Exynos 2200, has one major problem. It does not represent the actual GPU capabilities of the Exynos 2200. The video is just a CGI sequence to promote the chipset. But that's not the main problem. The latter is buried in the fact that it does not actually say anything about the product itself. But why?
During the presentation, Samsung briefly talked about the specifications of the chipset, cooperation with AMD and the manufacturing process. However, unlike previous years and previous chipsets, he didn't reveal any frequencies or other additions informace, which are simply important for everyone waiting for the Samsung revolution. If all the numbers can be set aside for Apple and its A-series chips and we're only presented with a percentage performance increase, from companies and their products going to AndroidWe just need to hear this.

Samsung is surprisingly silent on a chipset that should face everything that the modern mobile market has to offer. So it's supposed to be the calm before the storm when they reveal all the cards to us with a row Galaxy S22? Samsung may be changing its strategy as the company takes every opportunity to highlight how well it's doing over the competition. But not this time. This time, she may have come to the point that once the world knows what her chipset can do, the comparison won't be necessary. Let's hope it's in a good way.
