Rumor: Samsung Exynos socs with AMD GPUs will arrive in six months – Computer – News

Samsung would like to release its first Exynos socs with built-in AMD GPUs this spring or next summer. It has long been known that the next generation of Exynos socs will get an AMD GPU, but it may appear earlier than expected.

It is the next generation of Exynos 1xxx and 2xxx-socs, reports IceUniverse. The current generation is called Exynos 1080 and Exynos 2100. The 2100 can be found in the European version of the Galaxy S21 phones, while the Vivo X60 Pro has the Exynos 1080.

If so, Samsung would release two high-end socs in a year for the first time in years. That previously happened with the release of a Galaxy S at the beginning of the year and a Galaxy Note in the summer, but in recent years they invariably had the same soc.

Samsung-fansite SamMobile is betting on it that the manufacturer may want to use the new Exynos-soc with AMD-GPU in its foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Fold3. It should be released next summer. Samsung and AMD have been working together since 2019. Even then, the South Korean electronics manufacturer expressed the expectation that the first Exynos socs with AMD GPU would appear in 2021.

Qualcomm has been using Adreno GPUs in socs for many years. Adreno, an anagram of Radeon, is Qualcomm’s GPU line and ATi helped Qualcomm with that GPU development in the early years. Qualcomm took over the mobile GPU division in 2009 from AMD after which it continued to work independently on the graphics chips.
