Samsung and AMD are teaming up for a new Exynos mobile chipset, baking in RDNA 2 graphics that might upend the longstanding assumption that Snapdragon Galaxy phones are automatically more powerful. Samsung offers different versions of its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note flagships for different locations, in some places relying on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets while other regions get Samsung’s own Exynos silicon. Several generations of that strategy have established some knee-jerk assumptions, not least that those high-end Galaxy phones which use Qualcomm’s chipsets will pack more performance than their Exynos counterparts. Samsung has progressively tried to counter that reputation with more and more potent versions of its own chips, and this AMD partnership could be the most aggressive move there so far.
