While Samsung had announced that it is working on a flagship Exynos series chipset with AMD GPU earlier this year, the company didn’t reveal any specifics regarding the processor or its capabilities. But now, a new report has suggested that this upcoming chip could outperform the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max in graphical performance.
Exclusive: Samsung is testing the AMD GPU in the new Exynos, and the Wild Life test on the 3D Mark has scored 8134 points. It is worth mentioning that the CPU in this test is A77 architecture, for reference only. Each test has different results, we need to wait for more results. pic.twitter.com/Rej9vqyP6s

According to a tweet from a known tipster IceUniverse, the South Korean tech giant is apparently testing an Exynos chipset with a Radeon GPU and Cortex A77 CPU cores. The tipster shared a screenshot of the 3DMark graphics benchmarking app, in which, an Exynos processor with AMD GPU was spotted scoring 8,134 points in the Wild Life test that had an average of 50fps. This score beats the iPhone 12 Pro Max that sported the Apple A14 Bionic chipset, which scores around 7,442 points with an average frame rate of 40 fps.
At the moment, these benchmark scores appear to be early tests. So, we have no idea regarding the thermal performance of this chipset during these tests and how it performs under heavy load. Although, this is quite notable considering an Android handset has outperformed the top end Apple iPhone. The Samsung chip in question is rumored to be the Exynos 2200, which might even be able to offer better performance since it is expected to arrive with ARM Cortex X2 and Cortex A710 CPU cores, which are newer and faster than the Cortex A77.

For those unaware, the upcoming Exynos chipset will feature Radeon GPU that is based on AMD’s latest mobile RDNA2 architecture. Keep in mind, even if this chipset actually is the upcoming chipset, good synthetic benchmarks do not always translate to better graphical performance in real games. So stay tuned for more updates.
