Samsung Electronics is accelerating its pace in the system semiconductor sector. By unveiling its next-generation AP, the Exynos 2400, and emphasizing advanced AI technology, the company is striving to establish leadership in cutting-edge AI semiconductors and automotive semiconductors for the AI era.

Samsung Electronics held the 'Samsung System LSI Tech Day 2023' in Silicon Valley, USA, on the 5th (local time). The Exynos 2400 was unveiled at the event on this day.

Samsung Electronics, which emphasizes hyper-intelligence, hyper-connectivity, and hyper-data while sharing the latest semiconductor design status and vision for major applications, also held in-depth discussions on generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM) technologies with the attendance of over 300 representatives from customers and partners.

Park Yong-in, President of Samsung Electronics’ System LSI Business, stated, “As ‘Generative AI,’ which generates and processes data, establishes itself as the most important technology trend this year, the need to secure more advanced foundational technologies is emerging.” He added, “Samsung Electronics will usher in an era of ‘Proactive AI,’ which is more advanced than Generative AI, by implementing everything from high-performance IP to short- and long-range communication solutions and sensor-based ‘System LSI Humanoids’ that mimic human senses.”

■ Exynos 2400 Unveiled, Equipped with Latest Graphics and Generative AI
At this event, Samsung Electronics unveiled the next-generation mobile processor 'Exynos 2400' equipped with the Xclipse 940 graphics processing unit (GPU) based on AMD's latest RDNA3 architecture.

ExynosCompared to its predecessor, the Exynos 2200, the Exynos 2400 has significantly improved CPU performance by 1.7 times and AI performance by 14.7 times over the past two years.

Samsung Electronics expects this product to deliver an outstanding user experience to high-performance gamers by incorporating various advanced graphics technologies, such as global illumination and reflection/shadow rendering, along with enhanced ray tracing.

In addition, Samsung Electronics equipped the Exynos 2400 in a reference device and showcased a new generative AI technology that converts text into images to be applied to future smartphones.

■ Securing Competitiveness in the Future of the Hyper-Connected Era with System Semiconductor Design Technology

Samsung Electronics reportedly attracted the attention of customers and partners by demonstrating various next-generation system semiconductor product technologies, including Exynos Auto, ISOCELL Auto, and ISOCELL Vizion, on this day.

Samsung Electronics unveiled 'Zoom Anyplace,' a special ultra-high-resolution zoom technology based on a 200-megapixel image sensor, for the first time.

This technology can simultaneously capture full-screen and up to 4x close-up scenes of moving objects without loss of image quality, and can automatically track objects using AI technology during close-ups, providing mobile users with a completely new camera zoom experience.

Samsung Electronics also unveiled a video of the 'Exynos Auto V920' in operation, a next-generation premium infotainment processor scheduled for mass production in 2025.

Based on 10 of Arm's latest automotive CPUs, the Cortex-A78AE, this product features 1.7 times enhanced CPU performance compared to the previous model and multi-connectivity capabilities that allow simultaneous connection to up to 6 high-definition displays.Supports ability.

Safe driving technology was also showcased through 'ISOCELL Auto' for automotive image sensors and 'ISOCELL Vision,' a product capable of accurately capturing the rapid movements of objects instantaneously.
The 'ISOCELL Auto 1H1' unveiled by Samsung Electronics on this day supports 120dB HDR, which can accurately distinguish roads and objects in various driving and lighting environments, and can mitigate 'LED Flicker,' such as the flickering of traffic lights.

Through this, it is expected that competitiveness in automotive electronics technology will be strengthened via next-generation core semiconductors that provide drivers with the best mobility experience.

Meanwhile, at the event, Samsung Electronics emphasized its leadership in wireless communication technology toward the hyper-connected era by showcasing non-terrestrial network (NTN) communication that connects mobile devices and satellites via 5G using a next-generation 5G modem, in collaboration with NTN operator Skylo Technologies.

Skylo is a company that manufactures satellite signal receivers as next-generation 5G modems that support NTN NB-IoT functions without a separate IoT chip among non-terrestrial networks (NTN) that use satellites.

In addition, Samsung Electronics [develops] 'Exynos' utilizing Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology They introduced various next-generation semiconductor solutions, including the Exynos Connect U100, the 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 image sensor, display ICs for QD OLED picture quality, IoT security solutions, power management ICs (PMICs) for wireless charging, and smart health processors.
