It is reported that Samsung’s self-developed GPU in secret development of Exynos 2500 chip will be based on AMD technology

According to news on April 10, Samsung recently renewed its licensing agreement with AMD and will use mobile GPUs based on AMD technology on smartphones in the future. According to reports, Samsung is secretly developing a new generation mobile chip called Exynos 2500. This chip will be equipped with Samsung's self-developed GPU, but will also use AMD technology. This is another collaboration between Samsung and AMD after Exynos 2200. Exynos 2200 is the first chip to use AMD's RDNA2 architecture Xclipse 920 GPU, but its performance is not satisfactory.

According to the whistleblower Revegnus, Samsung is working with AMD to develop a GPU for the Exynos 2500 chip. The GPU is based on AMD technology and is particularly focused on optimization.

This new SoC is said to be designed for the Galaxy series of smartphones, suggesting that Samsung will eventually no longer rely on Qualcomm. However, to do this, it must develop chips that can compete with other competitors. Moreover, Samsung currently lags behind TSMC in the field of foundry. However, there are rumors that mass-produced chips using the second-generation 3nm GAA process will appear in the second half of 2024. Samsung can use its advanced chip manufacturing technology to build the Exynos 2500 chip, but it is currently unclear which chip will be used. kind of node.

As for the optimization mentioned in the tweet, it may be related to improving power consumption efficiency. The Exynos 2200 chip does not perform well in this regard. Although its ray tracing performance is better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, the battery life is sometimes longer than the powerful GPU performance. important. However, it will take a few years for this new Samsung GPU to take shape. Before it, there is the Exynos 2400 chip to look forward to.
