Samsung AMD

Samsung Electronics and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) are expanding their strategic partnership in the field of next-generation high-performance and low-power Radeon graphics design assets (IP). Radeon is a graphics processing unit (GPU) brand developed by AMD.

Samsung announced that it will expand and apply next-generation graphics solutions developed based on AMD ultra-low-power, high-performance Radeon GPU design assets to the Exynos lineup to deliver console-like graphics on Galaxy mobile.

Through this, the Korean tech giant plans to provide a high-performance and high-definition gaming experience comparable to console games on various devices other than smartphones and expand the R&D ecosystem for next-generation graphic solutions.

After this multi-year partnership, it’s expected that mid-range Exynos processors will also feature AMD Radeon GPU for enhanced graphics. As the company is developing its dream chip for future flagship models, it’s fairly trying to establish Exynos as a mid-range chip.

“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,” said Seogjun Lee, Executive Vice President of Application Processor (AP) Development at Samsung Electronics.

“We are excited Samsung selected multiple generations of our leadership high-performance Radeon graphics to advance the next generation of Samsung Exynos solutions,” said David Wang, Senior Vice President of the Radeon Technologies Group at AMD.

Back in 2019, Samsung Electronics and AMD signed a license to use high-performance graphic design asset architecture (RDNA) and jointly developed GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) ‘Xclipse’ based on RDNA2 to be installed in mobile APs in 2022.

Samsung Xclipse used in the Galaxy S22 series (Exynos 2200 processor) was the world’s GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing and variable rate shading features for console-like gameplay on mobile devices. Ray tracing is a technology that realistically expresses even images formed by light reflecting off objects.

As the Chinese display manufacturer BOE is mentioned as a competitor for the acquisition of the Guangzhou LCD factory, it is analyzed that the South Korean tech giant is trying to keep it in check by taking over the company through a Chinese company.

The sale of the Guangzhou LCD plant between LG Display and China’s Skyworth, which was carried out until recently, was canceled. After negotiations with Skyworth broke down, Chinese display makers; CSOT and BOE are actively pursuing acquisitions as latecomers.
