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.
