According to Sungboem Park, Samsung’s vice president in charge of GPU project research and development, most mobile devices currently use the processor’s GPU technology development, which is about 5 years behind PC. GPU display performance is greatly improved.
However, Samsung previously cooperated with AMD for the first wave of Xclipse 920 GPU for Exynos 2200 processor. Although it is designed with AMD RDNA 2 display architecture and corresponds to 6 sets of computing units and 512 sets of stream processors, its overall performance is not outstanding. , or even overheating due to thermal power performance issues.
It is rumored that Samsung will reorganize the Exynos processor business, which may greatly improve the processor design. Among them, the cooperation with AMD may consider directly adopting the next-generation RDNA 3 display architecture, and increase the display performance by 50%. Corresponding to 8 sets of computing units and 512 sets of stream processors, it may be called Xclipse 930 GPU.
In addition, Samsung will also sign a cooperation with Qualcomm next to extend the patent licensing period to 2030, and it is also expected that the new Galaxy S23 series flagship phones launched early next year will increase the proportion of Qualcomm processors.
