"The dark horse of the chip" appeared, surpassing Apple A14 in performance and also surpassing Huawei Qualcomm

As the world's most influential mobile phone brand, Apple has always stood at the commanding heights of technology. Whether it is its iPhone, iPad or Mac computer, its performance and system always take the lead, far ahead of windows and Android devices. Different from other Android mobile phone brands, Apple uses its own operating system, and Apple’s A-series chips are not for sale. In a closed system ecosystem, Apple perfectly coordinates hardware and software to maximize performance. In recent years, Qualcomm Snapdragon, Samsung Orion, including Huawei Kirin chips, have not been able to surpass Apple in performance.

Judging from the rankings of major running sub-sites, each generation of Apple’s A chip, single-core CPU performance is outstanding, and multi-core is also used by Qualcomm Huawei. Basically, it can achieve the level of a generation ahead. Apple’s A series should say that it is Second, no one in this industry dared to say first. In addition to these three companies, MediaTek has seized the 5G trend in the past two years and began to launch a series of 5G chips. Dimensity 1200 and Dimensity 1100 are all 6nm process chips, but the performance can only catch up with the Snapdragon 870. , So unable to compete with Apple's A14 chip, is there really no one in this industry who can shake Apple's status?

In fact, Samsung, as the world's mobile phone giant, is also the world's largest wafer fab second only to TSMC. It has chip R&D and mass production capabilities, has its own Euv lithography machine, and the next-generation Exynos2200 chip is exposed for the first time. Unlike before, this generation of products is jointly developed by Samsung and AMD, based on the latest RDNA2 architecture design, and is expected to be officially released later this year. Foreign media reported that the GPU codenamed "Voyager" of this chip will integrate a total of 384 stream processors in 6CU, with a frequency of up to 1.31GHz, and the graphics card running score data is ahead of Apple's A14 chip.

The GFXBench benchmark database shows that when Exynos2200’s AMD GPU is in use, the 1080P Manhattan 3.1 average frame rate is 170.7fps, which is far ahead of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888, Kirin 9000 and Apple A14 chips. The GPU performance is directly behind the latest Apple A14 chip. This makes Samsung satisfied. Once this chip is released at the end of the year, it will rewrite the entire mobile phone chip pattern and become Samsung's strongest 5G Soc chip in recent years. This chip is designed based on AMD RDNA architecture, so it can be used not only in mobile phones, but also in tablets and PC computers.

Once Samsung Exynos2200 is applied to PC computers, plus a graphics card, it will provide more powerful performance output and is expected to catch up with Apple's M1 chip. Such a powerful chip is expected to be built using Samsung's self-developed 4nm process. Samsung's 5nm chip has a poor reputation. In order to ensure the competitiveness of the chip, it may skip 5nm and go directly to 4nm. After seeing this data, it is indeed quite surprising. I did not expect that Apple is not Qualcomm and Huawei, but the low-key Samsung Exynos2200. Previously, the domestic mobile phone giant vivo also developed a chip with Samsung, and also created a powerful 5G soc, but the strength is not as good as the Snapdragon 888.

As a domestic chip design giant, the Kirin chip currently designed by Huawei HiSilicon cannot be mass-produced. It is really helpless to watch Samsung and MediaTek "overtake". Now that the Samsung Exynos 2200 appears, the mobile phone chip market has been reshuffled. If power consumption and performance can be balanced, Samsung chips are expected to make a comeback and further consolidate their position in the chip market. It is not impossible to provide 5G chips for domestic mobile phones. Qualcomm has already supplied 4G chips for Huawei. Do you think Samsung will supply Huawei in the future?
