News & Reviews:   samsung amd

Previously, we reported that Samsung Galaxy smartphones may feature AMD graphics, even the mid-range ones. Now, an alleged leak suggests the Samsung Galaxy A55 is one of those devices, with the mid-ranger touted to sport a new Exynos 1480 SoC and with it, an AMD GPU.

Samsung and AMD have been working closely together since 2021, in which the former’s in-house Exynos SoCs will reportedly feature GPU from the latter. Now, some 2 years later, it seems that this collaboration will finally bear fruit and more impressively, won’t be limited to high-end Galaxy devices.

TSMC's favourite customer is undoubtedly Apple, as most of its sales belong to the Cupertino-based company. Therefore, the semiconductor manufacturer would leave the best to the tech giant, and it might have made someone jealous. According to a recent report, AMD is considering switching to Samsung for its 3nm products due to the TSMC's special treatment for Apple.

Samsung and AMD have confirmed the collaboration on the next-generation Exynos chip. Now, both of them might be ready to announce it soon after posting something mysterious on social media platforms. If the source had guessed it right, the Exynos 2200 chip with AMD graphics would arrive on 19 November.

It looks like AMD is planning to contribute its technology to another smartphone chip maker besides Samsung. According to the latest report from DigiTimes, MediaTek could be the next to enjoy the benefits of the RDNA graphics chip. However, do note that everything is still in the discussion stage, so it's best to not get your hopes up yet.

Next year's Samsung Galaxy A series will probably be really competitive in terms of tech specs. After the rumour came out saying that all the 2022 Galaxy A devices would feature optical image stabilization (OIS), a new report has arrived claiming that some would also get the mRDNA GPU from AMD.

The Google Pixel 6 that is going to be launched later this year is rumoured to be the first Google smartphone that uses an in-house chipset. Earlier, it was also reported that Samsung would participate in the development of the chipset codenamed "Whitechapel". Due to the relationship, insiders are claiming that the chipset could also offer AMD's graphics.

You know a product is launching soon when you start hearing lots of rumours about it. In particular, Samsung's next-gen chipset has been a hot topic lately. Sources claim that it can beat any current-gen mobile GPU, which is excellent news since it might not be exclusive to Samsung.

Over the last few months, there have been a few rumours about a new chipset from Samsung with AMD's GPU. This chipset was expected to be equipped on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and unveiled this month. However, that might no longer be the case.

Rumours about a Samsung Exynos chipset with AMD GPU have been around since January. Some sources claim that it would be used for mobile devices, but most believe it'll be for a laptop. More importantly, it seems there's now an estimated release window for it.
