As the application of high-performance, low-power graphics IP to mobile APs expands, graphics technology innovation in the mobile sector is accelerating even further.

Samsung Electronics and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) are expanding their strategic partnership in the field of next-generation high-performance, low-power graphics intellectual property (IP).

Samsung Electronics is expanding the application of next-generation graphics solutions developed based on AMD's ultra-low power, high-performance Radeon graphics design assets to its Exynos lineup.

Through this, Samsung Electronics plans to provide a console-level, high-performance, high-definition gaming experience on various devices beyond smartphones, and expand the R&D ecosystem for next-generation graphics solutions.

Lee Seok-joon, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ System LSI Business, stated, “Samsung Electronics is leading innovation in mobile graphics technology together with AMD, including the industry’s first application of 'Ray Tracing' to mobile APs,” adding, “We will continue to secure differentiated mobile graphics solutions through our low-power solution design know-how and competitiveness.”

David Wang, Senior Vice President of AMD Radeon Technology Group, said, “We are very pleased that Samsung Electronics is applying multiple generations of high-performance Radeon graphics technology to innovate its next-generation Exynos solutions,” adding, “This expanded collaboration demonstrates both companies’ commitment to providing the best graphics experience for mobile users.”
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics and AMD signed a licensing agreement in 2019 to utilize the high-performance graphics architecture (RDNA) and jointly developed 'Xclipse,' a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to be installed in mobile APs in 2022, based on RDNA2.
