The technology market was in turmoil when Samsung missed the date it announced for the presentation of the Exynos 2200 processor. This should have been revealed yesterday, but the absence of news raised many questions about the future of this SoC.
To calm things down, Samsung went public with the matter. As the Business Korea publication reports, the Exynos 2200 remains part of the South Korean plans in early 2022.

On the reasons that led to the postponement of its disclosure, Samsung dispels any inconvenience. According to the same representative of the company “there are no problems with the production and the performance of the processor”.
This statement is intended to answer those who theorized that this delay was due to the Exynos 2200 overheating problem. It is clear that this was not what caused the delay in the launch of the processor.
Exynos 2200 is a processor designed for the gaming segment
As for what to expect from the Exynos 2200, the Samsung representative reiterates the focus on the gaming segment. “Our goal is to increase our competitiveness by making GPUs available for gaming on mobile devices.”
AMD will be an essential part, lending its RDNA technology to the integrated graphics in the Exynos 2200. Note that this is the same technology used in AMD PC graphics cards and next-generation consoles.
In fact, the Samsung Galaxy S22 promises to be the first smartphone on the market to support the technology. ray tracing. A milestone in the mobile industry that aims to erase the bad image left by the processor that precedes it.
