Samsung seems to be testing its upcoming Exynos soc with AMD GPU. That reports the well-known Samsung leaker Ice universe. The chip in question outperforms current high-end smartphone SOCs from other chip makers.

The test chip has Cortex-A77 cores from Arm and an RDNA 2 GPU from AMD. The soc achieves a score of 8134 in the 3DMark Wild Life benchmark, writes Ice universe on Twitter. This would make the RDNA 2 GPU in the Exynos chip better than all current Qualcomm and Samsung socs for Android smartphones. This chip also scores higher than Apple’s iPhone 12 series. The leaker does mention that every test with the Exynos-soc gives a different result and that these figures should therefore be taken with a grain of salt.

To illustrate: the Galaxy S21+ with the current Samsung Exynos 2100 chip achieves a score of 5538 according to the developer of 3DMark. The highest scoring Snapdragon 888 achieves a result of 5823. The A14 Bionic-soc in the iPhone 12 series scores a maximum of 7671 , although the A14 in the iPad Air is good for a score of 8507, presumably because of the tablet’s larger cooling surface. The Apple M1 chip in the new iPad Pro achieves scores of 17,133.

Samsung and AMD already announced in 2019 that the two companies will make smartphone chips together. In June, AMD shared more details about the partnership. The company then confirmed that the upcoming Exynos soc will have an integrated RDNA 2 GPU with hardware support for ray tracing and variable rate shading. According to previous rumors, Samsung will announce the first Exynos chip with AMD GPU in July.
