Samsung did not give up its Exynos division and it seems that a comeback for the in-house chipset is almost on the corner! The AnTuTu Benchmark website is the latest source to reveal the comeback of the Exynos chipset in some of the Samsung Galaxy S24 units next year. To those unfamiliar with Samsung’s previous policies, the company used to release its Exynos flagships in European, African, South American, and some Asian countries. However, this year, we had only the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy. Some units of the Samsung Galaxy S24 will include the Exynos 2400 SoC based on an improved 4nm manufacturing process from Samsung.
Samsung Exynos 2400 – Specs Detailed with a Deca-Core CPU
Regarding the GPU, the Exynos 2400 will feature an upgraded Xclipse 940 GPU. It will boast twice as many graphic compute units as AMD’s RDNA 2 tech. The Xclipse 940 will feature six WGPs (workgroup processors) totaling 12 PGU cores. It’s unclear whether that would be enough with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, or if that means twice the performance compared to the Exynos 2200 (which has 3 WGPs). However, it’s definitively a big step forward since Exynos chips have been somewhat behind in the graphical performance.

The new chipset will support LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, while the new ISP will be able to handle 320 MP camera sensors and 8K video recording at 60 fps. The new Exynos 5300 modem will likely be integrated.
Deca-Core CPUs Making a Comeback.
The detailed specifications for Exynos 2300 reveal an interesting fact: It will be a Deca-Core chipset! It has been a while since the last time we saw this core configuration. MediaTek used to push on this, but it did not have much luck with its Deca-Core chips. Now, Samsung appears ready to explore this segment. The Exynos 2400 will come with a 1+2+3+4 core configuration. It will have a Prime Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.1 GHz, the duo cluster will bring ARM Cortex-A720 cores at up to 2.9 GHz. There is also a set of 3x ARM Cortex-A720 clocked at up to 2.6 GHz for moderate tasks. Lastly, we have 4 x Cortex-A520 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. All cores are based on the ARMv9 architecture.
The Samsung Exynos 2400, apparently, will be an interesting release from Samsung. Will the Exynos-based Galaxy S24 win over critics? After a quite positive year without Exynos variants, we are curious to see if the release of Exynos-based Samsung Galaxy S24 flagships will bring any backlash from the community.
