Key GPU details of what seems to be Exynos 2800 Chrome book: Path tracing hardware

It looks like Samsung is prepping a direct competitor to Apple's M7 base in 2028.


New GPU details for the upcoming 1.4nm Exynos chip are here. It looks like another major shift since the Exynos 2200 brought the first hardware ray tracing to a smartphone SoC. 

This new chip, theorized to be a "2800" Chromebook variant, reportedly features hardware support for path tracing on mobile.

Path tracing vs Ray tracing 

Path tracing is an advanced form of ray tracing that simulates realistic light interaction by tracing numerous, randomly bounced rays, resulting in superior photorealism but higher computational demands. Ray tracing (often hybrid) is faster, using fewer, targeted bounces for real-time applications like games, while path tracing is used for offline, high-quality rendering (movies, VFX)

As seen in the image comparison below, ray tracing takes shortcuts to reduce load and speed up rendering. In contrast, path tracing adheres to realistic light and shadow physics, making it significantly more demanding.

 It looks like Samsung will be revolutionizing Android gaming once more, but adding support so that games can utilize these resources lies in the hands of game developers.

Samsung’s Silent Battery Pivot: Why the S26 Ultra Stayed at 5,000mAh—and the S27 Ultra Won’t.

 Intel Summary: Internal Samsung SDI documents confirm 12,000mAh-20,000mAh Si-C cell testing. While the S26 Ultra remains conservative, the shift to Silicon-Carbon anodes is the confirmed target for 2027. The Longevity Bottleneck (960 Cycles) The S27 Outlook The Battery Breakthrough Nobody's Talking About Everyone's debating whether the S26 Ultra should have pushed past 5,000mAh. That's the wrong conversation. The number on the spec sheet was never the problem — the chemistry was. Samsung has been running the same graphite anode architecture for years. It works. It's safe. It's boring. And it's been quietly holding Samsung back while Xiaomi, OnePlus, and vivo have spent the last two years shipping Silicon-Carbon batteries in consumer hardware without the world ending. Here's why that matters. Silicon-Carbon anodes can store up to ten times more energy than traditional graphite. That's not a marginal improvement that's a different category of battery ...

Next gen Exynos details emerge : It's a new Groove

Next-gen Exynos designed for the 1.4nm node It looks like we got our hands on the next-gen Exynos processor details, and the CPU looks very interesting ● 2× Prime cores at 4.5 GHz+ ● 4× Medium cores at 3.8 GHz ● 4× Efficiency cores at sub-2 GHz And Integrated 96MB System Level Cache (SLC). Ultra-wide bus width for minimum latency between X- Core and GPU. The efficiency leap is forecasted to achieve a 15% area reduction and a 25% power efficiency gain at iso-frequency compared to SF2 nodes. This is a decent year-over-year (YoY) leap over the 2nm node. We will share more details in the future.   The success of the Exynos 2600 makes this next-gen Exynos very interesting.
