New synthetic benchmarks for the Exynos 2200 and its Xclipse 920 graphics showed Samsung's collaboration with AMD in a new and rather bright light. OpenCL and Vulkan results for the international variant Galaxy The S22 Ultra is way ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the upcoming OnePlus 10 Pro.
There have been numerous discussions about the Exynos 2200 processor and its AMD RDNA 920-based Xclipse 2 GPU. Some of them were positive, some were negative. The first benchmarks that were probably performed on the prototype of the international version Galaxy S22 Ultra (the device designation is Samsung SM-S908B), however, they bring good news for those who were worried about the latest chipset from Samsung.
Notably, in the OpenCL test, the AMD-designed GPU runs like clockwork, as its measured frequency is only 555 MHz, while it can apparently handle up to 1,30 GHz. The result of 9 points is significantly higher than the previous best score of the OnePlus NE143, which is the 2210 Pro model with Snapdragon 10 Gen 8 and Adreno 1 graphics, which so far only achieved 730 points.

Vulkan test results are also promising for Exynos 2200 with Xclipse 920. At the time of writing, three benchmarks were recorded in Geekbench, reaching an average score of 8 points. In contrast, the results of the Snapdragon 556 Gen 8 in the OnePlus 1 Pro smartphone are simply lower, as even the best score is only 10 points. If we were to average, then the lead of the Exynos 7 is 285%. However, it is important to note that these are synthetic benchmark results, and the Exynos 2200 is apparently not even fully utilized here.
Real-world and gaming tests will probably yield different results, but it cannot be disputed that Samsung with the Exynos 2200 and specifically its Xclipse 920 GPU looks very promising in this particular comparison. When deciding which chip is truly the best (and worst) flagship processor in devices with Androidem can also decide which smartphone can offer better heat management.
