Samsung Cancelled its Massive Exynos 2200 Just Before Launch
Samsung Galaxy is a line of computer and mobile computing devices created, produced, and sold by Samsung Electronics. The product line includes high-end smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S series, tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab series, tablets and phablets with the added functionality of a stylus such as the Samsung Galaxy Note series, the foldable Samsung Galaxy Z series, and smartwatches such as the first version of the Samsung Galaxy Gear, with later versions dropping the Galaxy branding until the release of the Samsung Galaxy Watch in 2018. The Samsung Galaxy Watch is the company’s first wearable device.
The Android operating system developed by Google is used by Samsung Galaxy smartphones, including a customized user interface known as One UI (with previous versions known as Samsung Experience and TouchWiz). The Galaxy TabPro S, on the other hand, is the first Galaxy-branded Windows 10 gadget to be introduced at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show. Galaxy Watch is the first Galaxy-branded wristwatch since the release of later versions of the Gear smartwatch from 2014 to 2017. It is the first Galaxy-branded smartwatch since the release of later iterations of the Gear smartwatch from 2014 to 2017. In 2020, Samsung will introduce the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2-in-1 laptop with laptop and phone data sharing features, which will run on the Chrome OS and be part of the Galaxy branding. The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 was introduced in 2021, and it is the successor of the Galaxy Chromebook.
Samsung Cancelled Exynos 2200 Launch
So here’s a bizarre anecdote for you. Today was expected to be the day of a major SoC announcement from Samsung. However, that event did not take place. The event was either canceled or postponed by Samsung. Nothing occurred on the scheduled day of January 11, even though the date had been advertised and we had even written about it! Samsung failed to show up for a key product launch after failing to make contact. At this point in the day, the corporation has not responded to what must be hundreds of press requests that are no doubt overwhelming its email inbox, including ours. Samsung put the whole technology sector on notice, refusing to tell why. Nobody has a clue as to what is going on.
The Samsung Exynos 2200 was expected to be a significant introduction. After all, it is the first Samsung SoC to use an AMD GPU, which makes it a headline-grabbing device in its own right. This partnership between the two firms was revealed a year ago, and we’ve been thrilled about it ever since. But, unfortunately, the Exynos 2200 processor is (or was) scheduled to make its debut with the Galaxy S22. On the other hand, provided Samsung doesn’t disappoint everyone again, the launch event is presently slated for February 8.
The Exynos 2200 launch event was revealed only 12 days earlier, with Samsung announcing, “Stay tuned for the next Exynos with the new GPU created from RDNA 2, which will be released on January 11, 2022.” (RDNA 2 is an AMD graphics processing unit architecture.) In addition to a tweet from the official, verified @SamsungExynos account, the business also released a promotional film that ended on January 11, 2022, the day of the announcement. You may still view it on archive.org if you want to. The only thing Samsung has done to share about the status of the Exynos 2200 is to withdraw their promotional tweets for the event, which was the closest thing it has done.
We have no official word on what is going on, so we can only rely on the rumor mill for information, which is now ablaze with information. On January 10, before it was evident that there would be no Exynos event, plugged-in Samsung leaker Ice Universe tweeted that “Samsung has postponed the introduction of Exynos2200.” You should use the following information with caution. Another leaker, Dohyun Kim, reports that the Exynos 2200 processor will be eliminated from the Galaxy S22 series. The Galaxy S22 would feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor throughout, rather than the normal split of Exynos chips for certain areas and a Snapdragon chip for others, as is now the case. We’re not sure how Samsung managed to pull this off a month before the S22’s official debut, but we’ll have to wait and see when the device ships.
Samsung’s Exynos business has been struggling for years, and the AMD merger was intended to mark the start of a resurgence for the company. An interesting, powerful GPU with desktop Radeon branding would have grabbed people’s attention right away. Samsung’s marketing team, on the other hand, was already promoting the gaming aspect, which would have been a difficult marketing task given the fact that not every area would have received the Exynos processor.
When you consider all that is going on globally, announcing a postponement would have been a non-event. However, I have never seen a large technology business fail to appear at its event. Instead of marking a resurgence, this is a new low for the Exynos division. If Samsung ever gets their act together and issues a public comment, we’ll be sure to update this post. We’re all on the edge of our seats.
