Galaxy S22 beats Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone in ray tracing
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra powered by Exynos 2200 chipset beats Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered RedMagic 8 Pro in ray tracing. Exynos 2200 is the first Samsung chipset that developed in partnership with AMD (Xclipse GPU), which also supports ray tracing.
Courtesy of AndroidAuthority, Vitro released the ray tracing results of various flagship smartphones of 2022 and 2023. Surprisingly, the Exynos 2200 processor used in some Galaxy S22 phones defeated the RedMagic 8 Pro, powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in ray tracing performance.

With average frame rate of 21.6fps, the Galaxy S22 Ultra with Exynos 2200 processor performed better at 1080p resolution. On the flip side, 8 Gen 2 powered RedMagic 8 Pro stuck on an average frame rate of 17.6fps, which gives a clear win to the Samsung chip.
In ray tracing stress test, Exynos 2200 chip proved itself more reliable than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that included 20 continuous runs of the In Vitro test, whereas the latter throttled performance to manage heat post-17 test runs in the same criteria.

Ray tracing: It is a new graphics rendering method, which calculates how light rays travel to offer a more accurate representation of lights, shadows, and reflections.
The last year’s Exynos 2200 chipset brings some futuristic features, but sadly, the performance and heating issues forced it to depart from the Galaxy lineup. This year, the Galaxy S23 series solely uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with some CPU/GPU tweaks by Samsung.
I’m still concerned about performance of Galaxy S23’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
Samsung has unveiled two new battery packs with powerful performance using recycled materials. The launch, scheduled for the 19th, introduces the PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh and the PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh. Both of these battery incorporate 30% UL-certified recycled plastic in their design, marking a stride in reducing carbon emissions.
The ‘PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh’ offers a high capacity for charging, with a maximum output of 45W and three USB-C ports, allowing for simultaneously charging multiple devices. However, the actual charging speed may vary based on several factors, including the devices connected and charging conditions.
On the other hand, the ‘PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh’ provides the convenience of wireless charging, along with a wired charging capability of up to 25W. It comes with two USB-C ports, making it possible to charge up to three devices at once when combining wired and wireless charging.
Both battery packs comply with the USB PD 3.0 standard, ensuring quick and efficient charging for Samsung Galaxy products and other compatible devices.
The LPDDR6 market is expected to bloom as early as next year, as the new on-device AI memory is on the way with the latest LPDDR6 standard finalization taking place in Q3 2024. If the standard is confirmed in the third quarter, LPDDR will secure a new standard for the first time in five years.
Going toward the details, the International Semiconductor Standard Organization (JEDEC) recently held discussions on the next-generation mobile RAM standard. The meeting proceeded with the finalization process to finalize the LPDDR6 standard.
An official in the semiconductor industry said,
- “We have held various discussions to confirm the LPDDR6 standard specification,” and it will be released in the third quarter of this year.”
To be mentioned, the JEDEC is a private organization that establishes semiconductor standards, that is, sizes and specifications, and more than 60 people from memory, system semiconductor, and design asset (IP) companies participated in this Lisbon meeting.

Furthermore, the LPDDR6 standard will be established with a focus on improving data processing performance as the demand for on-device AI to perform large-scale AI calculations on smartphones, laptops, and tablet PCs is rapidly increasing. In addition, the power consumption standard will also be improved.
However, once the LPDDR6 standard is confirmed, major memory manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are expected to begin commercializing their products in earnest.
Microsoft has announced the launch of a new AI chatbot that can help finance workers with common tasks in Excel and Outlook. The Copilot for Finance is currently in public preview and will be available for purchase soon.
The Copilot for Finance is part of Microsoft’s vision to empower every department with a Copilot, a smart assistant that can generate natural-sounding text or other content with minimal human input.

As per the information (via CNBC), the Copilot for Finance can perform functions such as variance analysis, data reconciliation, and collections process in Outlook, using data from SAP and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Microsoft plans to add more features to the Copilot for Finance later this year.
Microsoft’s corporate vice president Charles Lamanna said that the Copilot for Finance was developed with input from Microsoft’s finance department. He also said that the Japanese advertising agency Dentsu will be one of the first customers to use the Copilot for Finance.
