Samsung Exynos SoC with RDNA2 Graphics Scores Highest Mobile Graphics Score
We recently reported that Samsung would be announcing their next-generation flagship Exynos processor with AMD RDNA2 graphics next month. We heard that the RDNA2 GPU was expected to be ~30% faster than the Mali-G78 GPU present in Galaxy S21 Ultra however according to a new 3DMark Wild Life benchmark it would appear the new processor scores 56% higher. This result would give the upcoming Exynos processor the fastest graphics available in any Android phone even matching/beating out the Apple A14 Bionic found in the iPhone 12. This early performance benchmark paints a very positive picture for the upcoming processor however we still don't know how the score will be affected under sustained load or if this will performance will even be replicated in the final product.

I have a few games loaded on my phone, mostly for travelling when I don't have my PC, would be awesome to boost its capability.
i have done lower budget phones all my life, my current samsung a30g has a great picture on it. but i would like to upgrade it... maybe late this year or late next year. haven't decided yet. i think i am going to go with something newly released around $500-$600 range though instead of doing budget.
The switch tech is 5+ years old, thats huge in the mobile segment
AMD > Snapdragon everytime and everywhere. Grabs popcorn. Would be cool to see AMD cpu's in phones too.
Reviewers getting one product and ENTIRE COUNTRIES getting something else with the same name, is something i couldn't stand
(let alone all the complications with the dozens of regional variants with minor changes, but requiring different firmwares, getting updates at different times, etc... the aussie models got abandonded hard at one point)
Even when Exynos with RDNA2 can match/beating Apple A14, it will only be on par with Kirin 9000 and SD 888.
S20 series and some prior ones it seemed like Exynos variants were a legimitately different user experience, significantly (10-20% or more) worse performance at times, with measurably worse battery life to boot.
But I also read they want to go back to custom cores? the proof will be in the pudding, I'll see how the next Exynos + RDNA2 reviews and decide if I want one from there, but I am definitely happier than I thought I'd be with the S21U, after a couple of exceptionally good Oneplus's (but now they've jumped the shark, at least software/updates wise)
Unfortunately, TechPowerUp team continues to spread technology rumours!
To TechPowerUp team: Why are you doing this? About 10 months ago you've had lots of excuses related to spreading rumours about NVIDIA RTX 30xx-series GPUs...
Ice universe on Twitter: "Exclusive: Samsung is testing the AMD GPU in the new Exynos, and the Wild Life test on the 3D Mark has scored 8134 points. It is worth mentioning that the CPU in this test is A77 architecture, for reference only. Each test has different results, we need to wait for more results. https://t.co/Rej9vqyP6s" / Twitter
TPU reports on the news, not creates it
Worst case scenario, an ARM SOC from an unknown manufacturer with a very powerful integrated GPU of unknown architecture is probably on it's way. That's still good news.
