News & Reviews:   AMD

Last year, it was rumoured that Samsung would be launching the Exynos 2200 soon. The company's new chipset was expected to be featured in the upcoming Galaxy S22 series smartphones. But a well-known source claimed that it may no longer be the case.

As per tradition, AMD continues to announce new hardware and this time it's earlier than usual since CES 2022 has begun. Among the many announcements, the new Ryzen 6000 mobile platform is the biggest one and here's what you should know about the processor.

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.

On 19 October, Google will launch its highly-anticipated Pixel 6 series along with the in-house chipset Tensor. Besides Google, someone might also be interested in making a new in-house chipset that fits better with its own devices. According to the latest information, Microsoft could be planning to develop its own for the Surface devices.

So last week, there were numerous reports that Windows 11 is causing some performance issues on AMD PCs and laptops. Although both Microsoft and AMD have worked together to resolve it, it seems that the latest update didn't really help much but made it worst than before.

Last week, Windows 11 officially launched and a few new laptops were the first to get access to it. But as always, a new operating system is bound to have bugs and users soon found that AMD PCs had performance issues. Well, looks like that's being fixed.

By now, most of you may have already upgraded your PC or laptop to Windows 11. However, if your model is using an AMD Ryzen mobile processor - you might want to hold off the upgrade because there are reports of performance issues.

We think the rumours for the competition of 2022 flagship chips are already fierce enough even without them being in the market yet. According to the latest report, the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 2000 will be 20% more power-efficient than Qualcomm's next-generation flagship chip, Snapdragon 898.

Based on a statement by gizchina, it seems that AMD could start manufacturing mobile chipsets in collaboration with MediaTek in the near future. While there is no official information in regards to when will AMD release their first chipset, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from them in the near future.
