Exynos 2600: 2026-bound SoC could ditch RDNA GPU for an in-house alternative

[Redaktion]

A new rumour says that Samsung plans to develop in-house GPUs soon. It may debut as early as 2026 alongside the Exynos 2600.

In any case, it would still have AMD IP, Samsung isn't exactly a GPU specialist and would have to ask AMD for a hand, so it would be mutually beneficial.

I think before they start ditching anything (cpu or gpu wise), they first need to developed something competitive (on a performance per watt basis) first, which they've thus far failed to do in the past 13+ years or so.

Am no expert, but wouldn't it easier to start with cpu first instead of cpu? If you build a fast cpu, you really don't need to worry about compatibility as long as it meets the isa spec. But for gpu even if you meet the graphic api spec, many games just won't run well because they were just optimized for specific pipelines and drivers in mind. Which I believe why intel is struggling so much atm despite the hardware being not that bad?

The lower efficiency is related to Samsung's manufacturing process being worse than TSMC's. The key to improving efficiency is for Samsung to improve its manufacturing process, RDNA3 is already better than all competitors.

You are a jackass that doesn't know his butt from his teeth.

Obviously RDNA3 is better, but 4 will prove to be going down an expensive path.

How do you feel about rethinking your life choices? Rude.
