As part of an extended portfolio of Samsung Exynos SoCs, Samsung Electronics and chipmaker AMD have signed a multi-year partnership extension to offer many generations of high-performance, ultra-low-power AMD Radeon graphics solutions.

According to IANS, Through the licensing extension, Samsung will bring console-level graphics quality and optimised power consumption to more mobile devices, offering an incredibly immersive and long-lasting gaming experience.

"Drawing on our technological know-how in designing ultra-low-power solutions, we will continue to drive ongoing innovation in the mobile graphics space," said Seogjun Lee, Executive Vice President of Application Processor (AP) Development at Samsung.

A mobile graphics processing unit (GPU) based on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture, the Samsung Xclipse, will be developed in conjunction with AMD in 2022 after Samsung and AMD originally announced their agreement to licence AMD RDNA graphics architecture in 2019.

With hardware-accelerated ray tracing and variable rate shading for mobile device gameplay similar to that on consoles, Xclipse was the first mobile GPU in the industry.

"We are excited Samsung selected multiple generations of our leadership high-performance Radeon graphics to advance the next generation of Samsung Exynos solutions," said David Wang, Senior Vice President of the Radeon Technologies Group at AMD.

"The extension of our work with Samsung is a testament to our strong technology partnership and commitment to bring the best experiences possible to mobile users," he added.
