Samsung Exynos Chipset with AMD GPU Beats Apple’s A14 Bionic in Graphics Test

Jun. 29, 2021



Back in October last year, we sawreports of Samsung developing two Exynos chipsets, including one with an AMD GPU. We recently saw AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Suconfirmthat the next Samsung Exynos chipset will feature AMD’s RDNA2 graphics. Now, the benchmark results of this upcoming Samsung Exynos CPU with an integrated AMD GPU have been spotted online, and they are quite surprising!

Reputable tipster Ice universe (Twitter/ @Universeice)recently shareda tweet, stating that Samsung is currently testing an Exynos chipset with an integrated AMD GPU. They shared a screenshot of the 3DMark graphics benchmark test that shows the graphics performance of this AMD-backed Exynos CPU. You can check out the tweet attached right below.

So, as you can see, the upcoming Samsung Exynos chipset with AMD GPU scored 8,134 points for the Wild Life test on the 3DMark Benchmark app. As per the test, the chipset was able to deliver an average frame rate of 50fps.

For further reference, Apple’s highest-end iPhone 12 Pro Max with theA14 Bionicchipset usually churns out around 7,442 points along with an average frame rate of 40fps. Hence, theSamsung chipset with the AMD RDNA2 graphics clearly beats Apple’s current flagship mobile CPUin the graphics department.

However, it is worth mentioning that this is a result of an early benchmark test and we do not even know the thermal performance of the upcoming Exynos chipset. Moreover, as of now, it is unknown how much this chipset could throttle performance under constant load.

Furthermore, the final version of the AMD graphics-based Exynos chipset, possibly the Exynos 2200, could offer better graphics performance as it is expected to use ARM’s latest Cortex-X2 and Cortex-A710 cores. The recent test, on the other hand, was conducted using an Exynos CPU with Cortex-A77 cores, which are inferior to ARM’s latest and greatest.
