Earlier this year, Samsung had officially announced that it will be launching its next generation flagship Exynos chipset along with an AMD graphics processor. But unfortunately, the company never unveiled when it would be launching this processor. Now, AMD has revealed more details regarding this processor at its Computex 2021 keynote event.
The chipmaker’s CEO Dr. Lisa Su made it official during its keynote earlier today (1st June 2021) that its GPU in the upcoming flagship Samsung Exynos processor will be based on its latest RDNA2 architecture. This marks the arrival of the new GPU to the mobile platform for the first time. Notably, the graphics will bring advanced features like ray tracing and variable rate shading to offer higher fidelity and improved power efficiency as well.
For those unaware, RDNA2 is team red’s latest graphics architecture, which is also used in the GPUs found in AMD’s new Radeon 6000 series of graphics cards and even the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. During the keynote, Lisa Su announced that “AMD has partnered with industry leader Samsung for several years to accelerate graphics innovation in the mobile market, and we are happy to announce that we will bring custom graphics IP (Intellectual Property) to Samsung’s next flagship mobile SoC (System on Chip) with ray tracing and variable rate shading capabilities.”
The South Korean tech giant’s Exynos series of processors have been criticized for being relatively weaker in terms of GPU performance. But, the upcoming chip will offer improved gaming performance overall. It was also announced that Samsung will reveal additional details regarding this new chip later this year. So stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.
