Exynos 2400 CPU detailed: 10 cores, 3.2 GHz max frequency

Samsung announced the Galaxy S24 series today. The vanilla Galaxy S24 and the bigger Galaxy S24+ will be powered by the Exynos 2400 chipset in certain markets including Europe. The chipset was technically unveiled in October, but we never learned major details like processor speeds and core clusters.

Thankfully, now all major features are official and combined with our hands-on experience with a Galaxy S24+, we can confirm the CPU core clusters.

The Exynos 2400 CPU has one ultra-powerful Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.2 GHz, two Cortex-A720 units running at 2.9 GHz, and three Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6 GHz. There are also four efficient Cortex-A520 cores, ticking at 2 GHz.

Exynos 2400 Exynos 2200
Prime 1x Cortex-X4 @ 3.2 GHz 1x Cortex-X2 @ 2.8 GHz
Big 2x Cortex-A720 @ 2.90 GHz -
Mid 3x Cortex-A720 @ 2.6 GHz 3x Cortex-A710 @ 2.50 GHz
Small 4x Cortex-A520 @ 2.0 GHz 4x Cortex-A510 @ 1.8 GHz

Samsung already confirmed the new chipset will bring a 1.7x increase in CPU performance and a 14.7x boost in AI processing compared to the two-year-old predecessor, Exynos 2200. The GPU is Xclipse 940, based on the AMD RDNA 3 architecture, which should improve support for mobile ray tracing, rendering, and reflections.

Exynos 2400 is built on the 4nm LPP+ process by Samsung Semiconductor, and all cores are based on the ARMv9 architecture. It also comes with a new ISP and support for LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The AI engine has 17K MAC NPU (2-GNPU + 2-SNPU), meaning it will work both on graphics and system level. Camera support is up to 320 MP on a single camera, while video support is up to 8K @ 60 fps with 10-bit HEVC.

Connectivity-wise, Exynos 2400 devices can work with GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo systems. The 5G NR Sub-6Hz has up to 9.64 GHz uplink speeds, while mmWave can reach up to 12.1 GHz.

They don't, but the difference between the Snapdragon version and the Exynos version is going to become more prominent in 2-3-4 years' time. The difference may be small now, but the benchmark advantage that the SD 8 Gen 3 has will show...

Name it Snapdragon 2400 and the hate would be gone!

Yeah, okay. Exynos is very good now that I’m sure you can’t feel the difference, but you do you.
