Just a few days ago we saw that Samsung and AMD were theoretically working on a a new GPU that would be optimized to be used in the new SoC and it could be Exynos 2400a chip that would be used in the Galaxy S24 and would mark Samsung’s return to its own solutions, although of course it would not mean completely abandoning Snapdragon.

According to a new leak that comes from South Korean sources, the South Korean giant is outlining the configuration of a new AMD Radeon-based GPU that could be used in the Exynos 2400, which will have a total of four computing units. . If we set it straight, we would find a total 256 shaders or stream processorswhatever you want to call them (their function is the same).

The 256 shaders will be accompanied 16 texturing units, 8 raster units and two cores to accelerate ray tracing. If the use of the RDNA3 architecture is confirmed, the GPU will also have four cores specialized for inference and artificial intelligence, hardware that Samsung could use to improve the performance of its SoC in computational photography and other tasks that can benefit from inference. and deep learning.

It would be ideal for Samsung to use the RDNA3 architecture because, as many of our readers will know, it is manufactured in a more advanced node and is more efficient, two keys that should make it easier for South Korean companies to adapt to SoCs for mobile devices. In this sense, it will be interesting to see what this architecture can do with very limited power and how this will affect its operating frequency and overall performance.

As for the Exynos 2400 CPU configuration, there are still rumors that this SoC could be equipped 10 core CPUdistributed as always in the block of maximum power, next high power and next high efficiency, but nothing is confirmed yet, so now we can only wait to see how the rumors and leaks develop in the coming months.

Something very important to keep in mind is that the future of Exynos 2400 depends not only on the results that Samsung achieves by adapting the RDNA3 architecture and integrating this new CPU, but also will be affected by the degree of success the South Korean giant achieves in launching it on the wafer. If success per wafer is not good and production costs skyrocket, you may decide to abandon this project and go back to using the next generation Snapdragon.
