Samsung Electronics And AMD Cooperate To Bring Next Generation Graphic Solutions

Samsung Electronics and AMD announced a multi-year cooperation renewal on Thursday to bring many generations of high-performance, ultra-low-power AMD Radeon graphics solutions to an extended array of Samsung Exynos SoCs.

Samsung will provide console-level graphics quality and optimised power usage to additional mobile devices with the licencing extension, providing a highly immersive and long-lasting gaming experience.

"We will continue to drive ongoing innovation in the mobile graphics space by drawing on our technological know-how in designing ultra-low-power solutions," stated Seogjun Lee, Executive Vice President of Application Processor (AP) Development at Samsung.

In 2019, Samsung and AMD announced their collaboration to licence AMD RDNA graphics architecture, which would lead to the co-development of Samsung Xclipse, a mobile graphics processing unit (GPU) based on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture, in 2022.

Xclipse was the first mobile GPU in the industry to support hardware-accelerated ray tracing and variable rate shading enabling console-like gameplay on mobile devices.

"We are thrilled that Samsung chose multiple generations of our industry-leading high-performance Radeon graphics to power the next generation of Samsung Exynos solutions," said David Wang, Senior Vice President of AMD's Radeon Technologies Group.

"The extension of our work with Samsung is a testament to our strong technology partnership and commitment to providing mobile users with the best experiences possible," he said.
