However, due to architecture and power consumption, the specific performance of Samsung Exynos combined with AMD GPU may not reach the same level as game consoles and PCs, or even laptops. Nevertheless, it will still give this chip an advantage in the competition.
As usual, the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is expected to be the first commercially use Exynos 2200 processor. However, the U.S. and Chinese versions will come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 895 processor. If all goes according to plan, the new flagship should debut early next year.

According to rumors, the chip will use the 4nm LPE process technology. In terms of its graphics performance, it will bypass the Snapdragon SM8450 chip with Adreno 730 graphics, which will be the successor to the Snapdragon 888 with the Adreno 660 graphics subsystem.
