Samsung May Terminate Its Partnership With AMD As It Pushes Development Of Its Own Custom Smartphone GPU
04.10.2023 - 20:23 / wccftech.com / Of Its
The upcoming Exynos 2400 might be the last Samsung SoC that comes outfitted with an AMD GPU, with the latest rumor claiming that the Korean firm wishes to develop its own custom solution. Earlier, it was reported that both companies had renewed a licensing agreement, but the terms may only have been valid for a limited time.
The Exynos 2500 has been in the rumor mill for months now, with claims being made that it is Samsung’s ‘Dream Chip’ and its launch will help strengthen the company’s position in a brutally competitive smartphone industry. On X, @OreXda has posted that ‘there are signs’ that the GPU collaboration between Samsung and AMD is coming to an end, as the former aims to seek independence by 2025 by developing a custom GPU.
However, this custom solution is only a part of the bigger picture, as the post states that Samsung intends to increase competitiveness in various sectors, including automotive and AI, and it appears that it can only be completed with an in-house GPU. Another reason why Samsung might be terminating its partnership with AMD is due to the underwhelming performance of the Xclipse 920 GPU that is a part of the Exynos 2200.

Apart from delivering superior ray tracing performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the GPU lags behind the competition in pure rasterization, and even though the Xclipse 940, said to be found in the upcoming Exynos 2400, boasts improved specifications on paper, it is likely that it will not fare any better. Samsung has been rumored to be developing a custom GPU before, but we had not heard any updates beyond that until today.
Samsung did employ the use of its custom Mongoose CPU designs before, but their poor performance and efficiency numbers against the competition forced the firm to abandon the use of future cores and stick with ARM’s designs, which it has done for a while now. Hopefully, a slew of these custom GPUs and other solutions help steer the company to a position where it can comfortably compete with the likes of Apple and Qualcomm.

Galaxy S24 Ultra To Continue Supporting 100x Digital Zoom, Despite Getting A Telephoto Lens Downgrade To 5x
Samsung is rumored to downgrade the 10x zoom on the Galaxy S24 Ultra to a 5x one, and while this decision can mean that the flagship reportedly launching early next year will miss out on some features belonging to the Galaxy S23 Ultra, there are other benefits. Fortunately, the Korean giant’s 2024 premium offering is not said to lose out on 100x digital zoom, according to one tipster, though this feature may not be as useful as one might assume.

Stardew Valley concert will take its delightful soundtrack on a world tour next year
Video game concerts are some of my favourite things in the world. Final Fantasy’s Distant Worlds, the NieR:Orchestra concerts, the Sonic Symphony - whatever particular series is your personal earworm, hearing music you’ve spent dozens or hours of hours listening to performed by a live orchestra can be incredibly moving and transformative. For those who feel that kind of connection with Stardew Valley, the engrossing farming-slash-romance-slash-dungeon-crawling sim is taking its OST on the road next year.

Apple Was Reportedly In Talks With Samsung For A 5G Modem Partnership, But A Deal Never Matured Due To Insufficient Supply
Apple has grappled with the development of its in-house 5G modem for years now, and even acquiring Intel’s business for $1 billion did not aid the company’s endeavors. Finding negligible success in this area, the California-based giant had little choice but to extend its partnership with Qualcomm for three more years, but there was a slight chance that Samsung would be brought into the fold, too. Sadly, talks of a deal never went past a certain point, with one report stating that the Korean manufacturer was experiencing supply issues.
