etc was allegedly associated with Samsung and Qualcomm with a goal brings FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) to the smartphones of the future and maybe not so far in the future if we see the level of compatibility that red giant scaling technology offers.

The information was provided exclusively by Revegnuswhich works with the account name @Tech_Reve in X. AMD, Samsung and Qualcomm have joined forces to compete with NVIDIA’s DLSS and Apple’s MetalFX in the scaling technology sector.

When you see how different competitors draw the board, it’s not crazy to think that The alleged partnership between AMD, Samsung and Qualcomm would not only benefit the three companies, but could be extended to the entire Android spectrum due to the much more open nature of FSR compared to DLSS and MetalFX, both at the level of operating systems and supported hardware.

On the other hand, Samsung and AMD teaming up to bring FSR to some Exynos SoCs shouldn’t be surprising considering the 2400 and 2200 use the RDNA 3 and RDNA 2 architectures, so on paper they have what that means. seamlessly support red giant resizing technology.

Technological openness versus exclusivity

Apple and NVIDIA have similar technology policies with a strong commitment to proprietary technology that also typically only works on their own platforms. As for the giant with the bitten apple, MetalFX support will only be available for custom operating systems, while DLSS requires NVIDIA hardware to function.

from his side FSR proposes a much more open vision, to be able to work on competing hardware and allow its implementation by third parties without restrictions or license fees because its source code was released at the wrong time. AMD’s approach is in direct conflict with what its competitors are proposing and is better at avoiding vendor lock-in (or vendor lock).

MetalFX will be exclusive to Apple devices; DLSS will only be available for dedicated graphics and NVIDIA SoCs, with the unknown Nintendo Switch 2; while FSR is capable of running on AMD, NVIDIA, Intel and possibly Qualcomm accelerators in the future. We’ll see if other companies join the alleged AMD, Qualcomm and Samsung merger soon.
