Samsung announced a few days ago that its next Exynos flagship chipsets will feature AMD graphics chips. These chipsets were expected to arrive sometime in the first quarter of next year with the phones in the line Galaxy S22. However, according to the well-known leaker Ice universe, we will see the new Exynos with GPU from the processor giant much sooner.
Ice universe claims that Samsung will launch the next generation of Exynos chipsets with integrated graphics chips from AMD already in the second or third quarter of this year. In theory, they could debut in a flexible smartphone Galaxy From Fold 3. However, the leaker added in one breath that the timeframe for the launch of the next Exynos could still change in the future.
The South Korean tech giant's chipsets have been widely criticized in the past for poor power management and overheating. Since then, the company has disbanded its team to develop its own processor cores and "adopted" ARM's Cortex-X1 and Cortex-A78 cores. To improve the graphics performance of future Exynos, Samsung will use powerful AMD Radeon mobile graphics chips.
Samsung's new flagship chip introduced recently Exynos 2100 in terms of performance, it seems to be similar to Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 888 chipset, at least in terms of processor, AI and image processing. However, the performance of its GPU (specifically, it uses Mali-G78 MP14) is "just" somewhere between Snapdragon 865+ and Snapdragon 888.
