The agreement between Samsung and AMD to bring the graphics architecture of the latter to the Exynos SoC from the South Korean giant was undoubtedly one of the most important news at the time, but the truth is that it did not bring the expected results, more Quite the contrary, from the Xclipse 920 GPU, which it had an Exynos 2200 It was a big disappointment.

Despite everything, Samsung has decided to renew its contract with AMD to give it another try, but according to the latest information, the Exynos 2400 SoC will be the last one to have an AMD GPU. This means that the South Korean company would choose to shelve AMD’s graphics architecture, and for good reason, build your own GPU.

It’s very interesting information that honestly makes a lot of sense, at the end of the day it’s the best way to go to create a “dream” SoCwhich is theoretically a project that Samsung has had in mind for quite some time, and which seems to be partially inspired by the success that Apple has achieved in this regard with its A and M series chips.

It also makes sense because, as many of our readers already know, the last two GPUs based on AMD architecture that Samsung used in its Exynos SoCs They did not achieve good results, and finally ended up behind Adren integrated into Snapdragons closest to their generation.

I know the Exynos 2400 hasn’t hit the market yet, but early leaked benchmarks pushed its Xclipse 940 behind the Adreno 740 in rasterization. If it’s like that, imagine how far it can be from the next generation Adreno GPU which will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 SoC, which will be the exact one Samsung will use in the Galaxy S23.

Samsung wants develop your own GPUand also trying to move forward custom CPU design based on the ARM architecture, which will, broadly speaking, follow the approach Apple uses and add a deep layer of customization based on said architecture to improve performance. This strategy is also the one followed by Qualcomm and the one used by Samsung itself at the time with its Mongoose cores.

We’ll see What is the end of it all?and what results the South Korean is able to achieve. For now, we can only take Apple as a reference, which managed to surprise everyone and everyone with the good results it achieved with its A and M series SoCs. Both use Apple’s own GPUs and offer excellent performance considering their characteristics and their consumption.
