Samsung and AMD extend agreement to bring Radeon Graphics to Exynos chipsets

Samsung and AMD just announced a multi-year agreement extension to bring Radeon Graphics to Exynos chipsets.

Through the licensing extension, multiple generations of high-performance, ultra-low-power AMD Radeon graphics solutions will be used in an expanded portfolio of Samsung Exynos chipsets. Samsung claims it will bring console-level graphics quality and optimised power consumption to more mobile devices.

Both companies announced a multi-year partnership in 2019. Samsung reportedly paid $100 million for the partnership. The Exynos 2200 chipset uses Xclipse GPU which is based on AMD RNDA 2 architecture.

The South Korean company extended a strategic partnership with Qualcomm last year which would see the expansion of Snapdragon mobile platforms to future premium Galaxy devices. It remains to be seen whether Samsung will bring AMD-powered Exynos chipsets to the Galaxy S flagship phones in the future although there is a recent rumour of the Exynos 2400 powering the Galaxy S24.
