AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution Could Come to Samsung and Qualcomm SoCs

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is an open-source resolution upscaling technology that takes lower-resolution input and uses super-resolution temporal upscaling technology, frame generation using AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) technology, and built-in latency reduction technology to provide greater-resolution output images from lower-resolution settings. While the technology is open-source, it battles in market share with NVIDIA and the company's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). However, in the mobile space, there hasn't been much talk about implementing upscaling technology up until now. According to a popular leaker @Tech_Reve on X/Twitter, we have information that AMD is collaborating with Samsung and Qualcomm to standardize on upscaling technology implementations in mobile SoCs.

Not only does the leak imply that the AMD FSR technology will be used in Samsung's upcoming Exynos SoC, but some AMD ray tracing will be present as well. The leaker has mentioned Qualcomm, which means that future iterations of Snapdragon are up to adopt the FSR algorithmic approach to resolution upscaling. We will see how and when, but with mobile games growing in size and demand, FSR could come in handy to provide mobile gamers with a better experience. Primarily, this targets Android devices, which Qualcomm supplies, where Apple's iPhone recently announced MetalFX Upscaling technology with an A17 Pro chip.

Seriously, wtf is this non-news? Pro-tip: there's nothing to add/implement/whatever - they can run FSR already, it's up to the software devs using or not using it and if they do implement it nothing will limit it to specific brands or socs

AusWolfI wouldn't even play on a tablet. No tactile control and my fingers covering half of the screen, brr... :fear:
I rarely do any gaming on my tablet either, but it's a lot nicer than my phone and heat and throttling isn't an issue. But 99.99% of my gaming is PC only. My phone is for calls, gps and taking photos with a bit of browsing and checking emails thrown in.
