Samsung introduced the new Xclipse 940 GPU to the Exynos 2400, and it is based around AMD’s RDNA3 architecture, so one of its objectives would be to deliver a significant graphics performance boost over the Xclipse 920 found in the Exynos 2200. Much to our surprise, it did, as a new test reveals that the silicon can maintain a solid 60FPS when running Genshin Impact, which is something several smartphone chipsets struggle to accomplish.
Exynos 2400 also ran considerably cool, which may have to do with the improved packaging technology that Samsung employed
Genshin Impact is one of the most graphically demanding titles available for Android and iOS, and keep in mind that even Apple’s 3nm A17 Pro was reaching high temperatures when running the game, resulting in severe stuttering due to thermal throttling. According to @GaryeonHan, the Exynos 2400 does not exhibit the same behavior. Also, it is even more impressive to learn that Samsung’s latest SoC achieved this feat without any upscaling involved, though there are several details left out, which made us wonder how the game managed to run at 60FPS.
For instance, the screenshots posted on X do not reveal Genshin Impact’s graphics settings, as that makes a boatload of a difference to your average framerate. Secondly, we have learned that the Exynos 2400 did not run hot when running the game, but once again, no temperature readings were shown of the smartphone or the surrounding environment, as the latter ultimately determines the overall performance of the game.

Assuming the Exynos 2400 does run cool when running graphically taxing applications such as this, it likely has to do with Samsung’s efficient 4LPP+ manufacturing process as well as the advanced FOWLP technology (Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging), which increases heat resistance, allowing the Exynos 2400-powered smartphone to run intensive programs for longer periods.
We have seen in previous 3DMark benchmark runs that the chipset not only managed to beat the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in performance stability, but it was also on par with the A17 Pro, indicating that the improvements Samsung has made to the Exynos 2400 are not to be taken lightly. We will provide side-by-side comparisons of the chipset in more tests, so stay tuned for more updates.
