Samsung Introduces Game Changing Exynos 2200 Processor with Xclipse GPU Powered by AMD RDNA2 Architecture

Ah I see. The only difference is that calling it DSP would actually make it sellable for people like me (even though I don't take photos with my phone very often). "AI" makes me cringe.

But maybe it's not AI. Or maybe it is AI. While there is no universal definition, this one is good enough:

Not that I'm defending the current state of mobile gaming ( 90% of them are trash), but I have fonds memories of the games I've played on gameboy. The screens were under 3", but they still managed to entertain a whole generation with them . Since I've played the like of Golden Sun, Zelda, Metroid... the current mobile gaming isn't great for me, but the youngsters don't know what mobile gaming used to mean.

Except that you didn't block half of that screen with your fingers, as you had proper controls that you could feel. Those games were really great. I could lose myself for days in Pokémon Blue and Red. Modern mobile gaming, on the other hand, equals a universal lootbox generator with different skins (called "games" for some reason).

On device A.I would actually means less data going out. As LostSwede said, "A.I" is used as a marketing terms because it's simpler to understand for the mass, but a lot of what's happening is simple machine learning/ and the automatisation of tasks that used to be a drag for the user. You can instantly find a picture that had a cat, a lake in it since the phone add those tags by itself, you can copy text from a picture, call a number from a picture, translate a poster written in a foreign language... It's only called "A.I" because you used to have to do those task manually, ( and anything related to language/speech processing WILL be called A.I when it's marketed to a mainstream audience)

You can be mad at the marketing, but it's definitely an handy thing, it's making it's way into design tools as well, If you ever done hair masking you know that designer don't do it for fun .

But maybe it's not AI. Or maybe it is AI. While there is no universal definition, this one is good enough:

Cool, thanks. I'll keep this in mind.

Music = my Sony MP3 player

I was going to say smartphones are good for music. Then I remembered we don't get headphone jacks in phones anymore. LG had good DACs in their phones but they're dead now. So yeah, a smartphone these days is mostly an advanced communication device with a camera.

Of course, we don't need these fancy Cortex CPUs and Mali/RDNA2 GPUs for computational photography. Having dedicated image processing hardware (with fast RAM and storage) is what is truly needed. But we can't just get that. Qualcomm has to deliver a fast for 5 seconds, throttles afterwards CPUs and GPUs. Google with their Tensor chips said they'll focus on sustained performance but their chip was hotter than Qualcomm's.

Smartphone chips have become quite the shitshow in terms of balancing performance with skin temperatures.

It's also kind of sad considering the never-before-seen amount of X-es in basically every product name.

"Dad I want a Xbox Xeries X"
"(realises it shortens to xxx) A what?!!!"
"Err.. I want a PlayStation 5"
"Oh gotcha. (checks online stores) Sorry buddy. It is out of stock."
"Oh.. Can I have your phone? Guess I'll just play games on a phone then."

but the fact that Samsung LSI has had some issues ramping the clock speeds without making a really hot chip.

Oh it is still gonna be hot. You can bet they are gonna feed 10-12 watts to the GPU in a passively cooled, thermally constrained smartphone chassis. The only reason they stopped was to avoid making the chip hot enough to give first degree burns to people when they are using their phone.

am very excited to mess around with mobile RDNA2

Why would you want to play games on a phone when you have a large ultrawide display powered by a 3080?

I wonder how many more years and how many more iterations of the garbage that is Exynos we'll have to endure, before it finally loses too much money and Samsung cancels it for the good of everyone.

What do you mean? The Exynos 7884 in my Galaxy A20e is great! It opens the web browser like a... CPU, I guess. It doesn't even throttle doing so as it doesn't produce any heat. It also runs the phone for nearly 2 days with a 2550 mAh battery.

I would like to compare Exynos 2200, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Dimensity 10000, A15.
