Samsung and AMD have agreed to extend their strategic partnership from 2019 which will see AMD Radeon graphics technology utilized in Samsung Exynos chipsets. The new multi-year partnership is said to bring several generations of high-performance and ultra-low-power AMD Radeon graphics solutions to Exynos chipsets for console-level graphics quality and optimized power consumption.
It has been reported that AMD Radeon graphics (with Xclipse branding) will come to more affordable and mid-range Exynos processors in the future. The company might bring AMD GPU-powered Exynos chips to more Galaxy A, Galaxy F, and Galaxy M series smartphones as well as more affordable Galaxy Tab series devices. This announcement also shows that Samsung hasn’t given up on its Exynos processors yet.
Hopefully, the two companies will be able to figure out a way to bring better GPU performance in the future with upcoming Exynos chips.
Together with AMD, Samsung has been revolutionizing mobile graphics, including our recent collaboration that brought ray-tracing capability to mobile processors for the first time in the industry. Drawing on our technological know-how in designing ultra-low-power solutions, we will continue to drive ongoing innovation in the mobile graphics space. - Seogjun Lee, EVP of AP Development at Samsung Electronics
