Samsung develops mobile graphics circuits with AMD RDNA graphics

Samsung has been building its own mobile circuits in the Exynos family for several years. These are based on the ARM architecture, and use the ARM-licensed graphics component Mali. The latest is the Mali-G76 MP12, which is found in the Galaxy S10 family.

Now, however, new times await. A press release reveals that AMD and Samsung are part of a strategic partnership around graphics parts, where the Korean mobile giant will have access to Radeon secrets. The purpose is to develop the circles of the future within the segment ultra low power – mobile phones and tablets.

Specifically, these are tailor-made solutions based around the architecture RDNA – Radeon DNA. The technology will replace today’s Graphics Core Next (GCN) for future AMD graphics cards, with a jumpstart in the upcoming Radeon RX 5000 series.

When Samsung circuits with Radeon under the hood will be available remains to be seen. As the collaboration is still in its infancy, however, it is likely to be a number of years of development time.
