It is no secret that Samsung began partnering with AMD and everyone to make Exynos chips real monsters, primarily in terms of gaming performance. How successful this alliance will be and whether it will bring positive results can be judged by the Exynos 2200, which will form the basis of the flagships of the Galaxy S22 series.
But the manufacturer is working not only on this processor, there will be other chipsets in its lineup. So, the message came that the Exynos 1280 is preparing for release, which will form the basis of the company's low-cost solutions. The well-known and authoritative network insider Ice Universe spoke about the release of this processor today. And his predictions always come true, he has repeatedly proved his awareness of not yet presented devices.
According to him, the Exynos 1280 will be a 5-nanometer technological processor, and its characteristics will be "oddly enough" below the Exynos 1080. The new platform should find its use in "entry-level models." We do not exclude that we will see this processor in the products of third-party companies. For example, Vivo, which has already produced smartphones with Samsung chips.
Samsung confirms Exynos mobile chip with AMD graphics will get ray tracing support
Samsung has officially confirmed on its Weibo page that its upcoming Exynos mobile SoC based on AMD RDNA 2 architecture will support ray tracing technology.
The company also did not go into details about the new chip. According to the latest rumors, a new mobile SoC called Exynos 2200 will receive six AMD RDNA 2 GPUs; which will use 384 stream processors as well as six ray tracing accelerators.
The Exynos 2200, codenamed Pamir, will have eight physical processing cores. One high performance, three slightly less powerful and four energy efficient. RDNA 2 graphics as part of the Voyager processor.
Previously; in the well-known benchmark Geekbench 5, information appeared about the flagship mobile platform Samsung of the new generation; Equipped with an AMD GPU based on RDNA 2 architecture.
In addition, the future mobile Exynos 906 will be the chipset, codenamed SM-S2200B; Powered by AMD's most advanced mobile GPU.
Geekbench data indirectly confirms this assumption, the test data mentions the AMD driver with the Vulkan API, and also mentions the Samsung Voyager EVTA1 - earlier sources reported that the Exynos 2200 will be the fruit of a collaboration between Samsung and AMD, and the Voyager codename hides the latest GPU developed.
