Exynos 2400 To Get New Xclipse 940 GPU, Improved 8K Video Recording, With Increased CPU Cores; Other Details Also Shown In New Specs Leak

The influx of reports and rumors surrounding the Exynos 2400 suggests that mass production of Samsung’s next SoC might happen at the allotted time. With the latest specifications leak, we are given a closer look at the new Xclipse 940 GPU, which will directly succeed the Xclipse 920 belonging to the Exynos 2200, along with the increased number of CPU cores, plus other details.

Exynos 2400 to get 8K 60FPS video recording support over a wide range of codecs, Xclipse 940 clock speed still to be determined, but other details are provided

Let us start with the manufacturing process first, and Revegnus was kind enough to share the specifications sheet on Twitter. The Exynos 2400 will be mass produced on Samsung’s 4nm SF4P process, which is another term for the company’s 4LPP+ technology that focuses more on power efficiency, making it better than the company’s earlier iterations. This improved manufacturing process may be one of the reasons why the upcoming chipset was rumored to feature a 10-core CPU cluster.

Speaking of the CPU, the complete configuration has been included in the specifications sheet, revealing that the Exynos 2400 will use one Cortex-X4 super core running at 3.10GHz, while the remaining nine belong to Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520, which are both CPU designs that have yet to be officially announced by ARM. The GPU is an area that received a ton of hype last time but generated a minute amount of substance, so there is a ton riding on the Xclipse 940.

We reported about the graphics processor’s compute units last time, stating that the amount was four times the number found on the Exynos 2200 GPU. On this occasion, we are greeting with more information, which does not include the clock speed or the number of Teraflops, but states that the Xclipse 940 will have 768SP (stream processors), 48TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32ROPs (render output units). The Exynos 2400 will also support LPDDR5X DRAM, with memory bandwidth reaching 8.5Gbps. Video recording is also said to receive an improvement, going up to 60FPS for 8K.

However, the specifications do not state if ‘8K 60FPS’ is for video playback or recording, though it does mention that whatever the functionality will be, it will be done over a wide range of codecs, which is great. As for the camera, we should expect an improved ISP (image signal processor) with support of up to a single camera at a resolution of 320MP. Other than that, the Exynos 2400 will support the UFS 4.0 storage, plus various wireless connectivity standards.

While everything on paper looks impressive, until real-world or synthetic results come out, we cannot speak for just a specifications leak, though the improved 4nm process means that Samsung should optimize the Exynos 2400 to be significantly better than the Exynos 2200. Hopefully, when the SoC launches in the fourth quarter later this year, we will see improvements from the Korean manufacturer.
