Samsung and AMD sign new multi-year deal to bring ‘console-level’ graphics performance to mobile devices
Samsung Electronics and chipmaker AMD announced Thursday that they have signed a multi-year extension agreement to bring multiple generations of high-performance, ultra-low-power AMD Radeon graphics solutions to the expanded Samsung Exynos SoC lineup.
With the license extension, Samsung brings console-level graphics quality and optimized power consumption to more mobile devices, offering an incredibly immersive and long-lasting gaming experience.
“Using our technological expertise to design ultra-low power solutions, we will continue to drive continuous innovation in the mobile graphics space,” said Seogjun Lee, vice president of application processor development at Samsung.
Samsung and AMD first announced a collaboration to license the AMD RDNA graphics architecture in 2019, leading to the joint development of the Samsung Xclipse, a mobile graphics processing unit (GPU) based on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture, in 2022.
Xclipse was the industry’s first mobile GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing and variable-rate shading capabilities for console-like gaming on mobile devices.
“We are thrilled that Samsung has chosen our multi-generational leadership in high-performance Radeon graphics to drive the next generation of Samsung Exynos solutions,” said David Wang, president of AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group.
“Expanding our work with Samsung is a testament to our strong technology partnership and our commitment to providing the best possible experiences for mobile users,” he added.
