It has been two years since Samsung announced its partnership with AMD on mobile GPUs but we are yet to see the first product borne from the agreement. The Korean tech giant was expected to announce the GPU this month but that will no longer happen.
At the beginning of this year, Samsung revealed that its next flagship Exynos chipset will have an AMD GPU. Popular leaker, Ice Universe, revealed in a tweet back then that the GPU will be announced this year and may even appear in the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Fast forward to February and the leaker disclosed that the co-developed GPU will be announced in June with the main processor scheduled for later. Now a new update from the leaker says that the launch has now been postponed to July. The info was revealed in a tweet earlier today. Sadly, no reason was provided for the postponement.
Last month, Samsung mentioned at Computex, that the GPU will be based on the RDNA2 architecture, the same one used for the GPUs inside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S and Series X consoles. He went on to say that the next-gen Exynos chipset with the new GPU will bring features such as ray tracing and variable rate shading capabilities.
We are all pumped to see what Samsung and AMD has prepared. While we are sad we will have to wait a bit longer, if it means they get more time to fine tune its performance, then the better.
