Computex 2021 kicked off in Taiwan with a speech by AMD CEO Lisa Su. Her performance attracted attention in two ways. First, the onboard multimedia of the updated Tesla Model S and Model X will receive discrete graphics with RDNA 2 architecture and a Ryzen APU. It seems that AMD has managed to squeeze out NVIDIA, whose solutions were previously used in Tesla electric vehicles.
The second aspect is more interesting for fans of mobile devices. The AMD executive announced that the high-performance GPU RDNA2 is entering the mobile market. In particular, AMD has granted Samsung a license to use the new graphics, which will find its way into flagship smartphone chips later this year. The South Korean giant will announce details about the new platform before the end of the year.
AMD RDNA2 is expected to be part of the Exynos 2200 chip, which will form the basis of the Galaxy S22 series flagships, as well as Samsung ARM Windows 10 laptops. In terms of processor performance, the Exynos 2200 will outperform the Exynos 2100 by 10%, but according to the graph, the power increase was a whopping 150%. Whether this forecast will come true, we will find out closer to the end of the year, when the premiere of the first Samsung processor with AMD graphics will take place.
