Samsung touts Exynos 2200's ray tracing support, other upgrades in new video

25 January 2022
The video positions the 2200 as the perfect chip for a gaming smartphone.

Sort by:

The fact that these eggheads can brag about "ray-tracing" on a 6 inch toy, WHILE those flagship gpus can barely do full ray tracing at 30 frames, it just shows how tone deaf and blind they are.
Wanna get a phone to last years and have amazing battery life?
Too bad, you have even less capacity now! And no, I doubt Samsung will pull a note 8 again, that legend's optimisation on a 3300mah battery beating s8 plus's 3500mah, was a MIRACLE. Yeah, that was five years ago though :(
Other than that, it's the same phone every year. Nothing special.
Also, I can't blame samsung entirely, people are hyped over something that is straight imaginary and utopian. It's like taking a 1000hp engine, slam it on a Mini Cooper or some small lightweight car, and rev the SH*T out of it, only to find out: WOW it overheats, WOW, it is way too powerful, WOW it is so hard to use it! You really need three master degrees just to understand how physics and real life works???
Or you still trust the same company who said

"WE'RE BENDING THE LAWS OF PHYSICS"

Thank you, but nope.

You said "in some areas", in other words it was close enough to lose in other areas. In other words they were almost identical in their horrible-ness.

        Even if the new chips of Exynos 2200, SD 8 Gen 1, and Dimensity 9000 all brought great GPUs, or even added an Nvidia RTX whatever
        The question I would like to ask to whoever knows better:
        Can good 3D games really perform well if Android OS doesn't support new Open GL, Vulkan, or even any directX versions ?
        Also:
        Can these new GPUs support Nvidia Shield games if ported to them?

Re-read what he wrote He didn't even said a word about snapdragon 8 gen1 GPU performance yet how it is better than A15, not even 6 minutes into the video 8 gen1 started throttling on top of that not A15 has better sustained performance it also has better efficiency.

                  2. Yeah I'm not denying that but what I'm saying is that whatever performance gain you'd get from turning on airplane mode is insignificant and the increase in benchmark score ​you'd get is little to none. Again he also had wifi turned on so the only( one of) wireless connections that turned off was his cellular connectivity

This can also be proven in real world, as there are still many people who are interested to pick up an iPhone 11 because of its very good performance even in 2022, but I don't see anyone still wanting to have a Galaxy Note 10+ because of top-tier performance in this same year and time. Anyway I hope that is clear enough.

So in general, the original commenter's statement remains true, as the SD 8 Gen 1 indeed did have better GPU performance than the A15, but is worse for sustained performance. You just added a different aspect of discussion for performance, but it really did not change the validity of the statement.

                          2. Sorry I don't quite understand that. Regardless, the Airplane Mode still helps improve the performance by shutting off any background processes due to lack of network connectivity.
