The new Exynos 2100 chipset used in the Galaxy S21 flagship range feels refreshing thanks to Samsung’s decision to abandon its custom CPU core in favor of ARM’s design. The SoC is enough to compete with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 solution, but the graphics chip is one of the areas that has not fundamentally changed.
The good news is that AMD and Samsung have joined forces – and as you heard earlier today – the next generation of AMD graphics-powered Exynos chips could hit the consumer market sooner rather than later. In fact, the Korean media claimed to have obtained early 3D benchmark results regarding Samsung’s emerging AMD-powered mobile chipset solution.
The Apple A14 Bionic chipset gives its money
Samsung’s mysterious chipset supposedly slated for release in 2022 does not yet have an official name, but the solution appears to be up to standard GFXBench.
This is the point where we need to highlight the fact that the rumor has to be picked up and passed on. IT home from a Korean community site, and there do not appear to be screenshots to support it. But for what it’s worth, the supposed benchmark results are very positive and the mysterious Exynos disk drive powered by AMD is much more capable with 3D graphics, so much so that it defeats the Apple A14 Bionic SoC:
Apple iPhone 12 Pro / A14 Bionic GFXBench (outside screen) results:
- Manhattan 3.1 = 120 fps.
- Aztec ruins (normal) = 79.9 fps.
- Aztec ruins (high) = 30 fps.
Untitled Next Generation Exynos Disk Set (claimed) GFXBench results:
- Manhattan 3.1 = 181.8 fps.
- Aztec ruins (normal) = 138.25 fps.
- Aztec ruins (high) = 58 fps.
Again, we must emphasize that the source did not share a screenshot to support these figures, but even if there were one, it would probably still be too early to be completely sure of the validity of the leak.
We do expect AMD’s GPU to make a big positive change in Samsung’s chipset range, but we’ll have to wait and see if the improvements match what’s shown in this leak. Either way, Apple will not sit idly by and Samsung’s next-generation solution will compete with the aforementioned A15 Bionies next year.
