Recent rumors regarding the Exynos 2400 have surfaced, originating from the benchmark site AnTuTu (via Wccftech). The key question is whether Samsung will reintroduce the Exynos 2400 chip for the Galaxy S24 across many regions while opting for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Galaxy S24 in the U.S. and China. This was Samsung’s traditional approach with its flagship Galaxy S line until last year when it chose to equip all Galaxy S23 series devices with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy.
The Upcoming Exynos 2400 Chipset
The strategy being considered is to potentially use the in-house Exynos 2400 to power most Galaxy S24 units in order to economize. This cost-saving could enable Samsung to enhance some specifications within the Galaxy S24 lineup. The Exynos 2400, theoretically, could be potent, boasting a deca-core configuration (1+2+3+4) that includes a 3.10GHz Cortex-X4 prime core; there’s even speculation that the X4 might run at 3.2GHz.
Additionally, the chip will incorporate the new Xclipse 940 GPU, based on AMD’s RDNA2 architecture. Utilizing Samsung Foundry’s 4nm process node, the chip is expected to deliver superior power efficiency compared to earlier Exynos application processors. A notable aspect is the integration of the Exynos 5300 5G modem, rumored to offer a maximum downlink speed of 10Gbps, equivalent to the Snapdragon X75 modem’s top speed.
The Exynos 2400 SoC will support LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, 8K 60FPS video recording, and accommodate up to a 320MP camera. More intriguingly, it will also facilitate two-way satellite communications, similar to the iPhone’s Emergency SOS via Satellite feature. This enables users in emergencies to seek assistance by connecting to a satellite when cellular service is unavailable. While many prospective Galaxy S24 buyers might favor the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Exynos 2400 seems potent enough to satisfy most Galaxy S24 users.
