In response to the rumors that “Samsung will terminate its cooperation with AMD on mobile GPUs”, blogger @Tech_Reve believes that the news is not accurate, and gives his own opinion.
He said that Samsung is indeed developing its own GPU, but it’s more like a modified version of AMD’s GPU. Samsung will continue to use AMD GPUs in the future, as AMD VP Martin Ashton is expected to be the guest of honor at Samsung’s LSI Technology Day event this month, where he will be announcing detailed information about the collaboration between the two companies in graphics semiconductor technology.
According to previous blogger @Connor, the upcoming Exynos 2400 could be the last SoC from Samsung to feature an AMD GPU, with Samsung looking to develop its own customized solution. The blogger claimed, “There are indications that the GPU partnership between Samsung and AMD is coming to an end, and Samsung plans to free itself from other vendors by developing custom GPUs in 2025.”
It is learned that Samsung and AMD entered into a partnership on mobile GPUs in 2021, with the Exynos 2200 becoming the brand’s first SoC chip to feature AMD’s RDNA architecture GPUs, inheriting advanced graphics features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing (RT) and variable-rate shading (VRS), which had previously only been available in PCs, laptops, and gaming consoles. In the real world, however, the SoC chip didn’t live up to expectations.
