Samsung announced the first smartphone chip with an AMD ray tracing GPU

Samsung has announced its new processor Exynos 2200 for smartphones. This is the first on-chip mobile system to include a GPU with AMD’s RDNA 2 graphics architecture, enabling features such as hardware fast tracking.

A collaboration with AMD has always been in the works. The two companies first announce 2019 licensing deal then AMD certificate Last year, Samsung’s upcoming flagship mobile SoC will use “RDNA 2. Samsung recently teasing An announcement of the Exynos 2200 that was supposed to take place occurred on January 11, but has been mysteriously delayed.

The Exynos 2200 is manufactured in Samsung’s 4nm EUV process. Samsung classifies this GPU as an “Xclipse,” AMD Senior Vice President of Radeon GPU Technician David Wang said at disclaimer It is “the first result of several planned generations of AMD RDNA graphics in Exynos SoCs.”

On the CPU side, the Exynoss 2200 uses Armv9 cores: one “flagship” high-power Cortex-X2, three Cortex-A710 cores for balanced performance, and four more efficient Cortex-A510 cores. There’s also an upgraded Neural Processing Unit that Samsung says offers twice the performance of its predecessor, and the ISP architecture is designed to support camera sensors up to 200MP, one of which is Samsung. announce last year.

Samsung’s top Exynos chips usually make their way to the company’s flagship Galaxy S series of phones, though models sold in the US and other markets use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon. Other phone manufacturers like Vivo sometimes use Exynos chips in their devices, but we’ll probably have to wait until we have the Galaxy S22 in our hands to see if AMD’s technology translates into a huge leap forward in mobile GPU performance.
