News & Reviews:   AMD

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.

Back in June, sources claimed that the Samsung Exynos 2200 outperformed the Apple A14 Bionic in GPU performance. The source provided no evidence to prove it, but now there's another benchmark to compare the two chipsets. But this time around, we have more details on the chipset.

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.

2 weeks ago, Microsoft Malaysia had launched the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 and you may choose to have either a CPU from Intel (Core i5 or Core i7) or AMD (Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7). Here is the unboxing video of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 15-inch Ryzen 7 that comes with a price tag of RM5999.

At Computex 2021, AMD unveiled some new interesting hardware. We've already heard quite a bit about the AMD-powered Exynos 2200 chipset, but AMD also announced new mobile GPUs like the Radeon RX 6800M in the Strix G15 and G17. Now, there is some news on the RX 6700M too.

It's starting to look like Samsung's AMD-powered chipset could live up to the hype. In recent tests, the Exynos 2200 handily beaten the iPhone 12 Pro's A14 Bionic chip in GFXBench. Now, another benchmark has proven that Samsung's chipset outperforms Apple's chip.

Last week, Microsoft released a set of tech specs requirements for your laptop or PC to be eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade. Not only that, they sent us a PC Health Check app for that too but it seems that they are temporarily removing the app due to the feedback from users.

Since the pandemic started, many industries have been plagued by supply issues. This can be attributed to the lockdowns in many countries, which slowed the transportation of goods. GPUs were similarly affected, but things might finally be improving a bit.

Much is expected of Samsung's next chipset. That's not surprising, especially when it performed even better than Apple's A14 Bionic chipset. Now, a new report claims that the new Exynos chipset will also outperform Mali GPUs.

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.
