It’s unclear which phones will adopt the chip. But AMD says the RDNA 2 graphics technology will arrive in multiple generations of Samsung Exynos processors.
Samsung is promising to bring video game console-like graphics to smartphones with its new Exynos 2200 mobile processor. Samsung officially announced the chip on Tuesday, a week after the company mysteriously postponed its original unveiling for the Exynos 2200, without explanation. The chip stands out by taking AMD’s RDNA 2 technology—which also powers the graphics on the PS5 and Xbox Series X—and packing it inside a mobile processor. AMD first teased the chip in June, heralding it as the first time the RDNA 2 architecture would expand to smartphones. The RDNA 2 architecture can be found on the Exynos 2200 through a dedicated GPU called “Xclipse,” according to Samsung. “Like an eclipse, the Xclipse GPU will bring an end to the old era of mobile gaming and mark the start of an exciting new chapter,” it added.
