The strategic partnership between Samsung and AMD raised eyebrows when it was officially confirmed back in June 2019. So far, the fruits of the partnership have been somewhat underwhelming. However, the pair must see a better future together, as Samsung has decided to extend its AMD Radeon licensing deal with a new multi-year agreement.
After a long wait, we started to see Samsung Exynos processors with AMD Radeon graphics featuring in devices. Specifically, Samsung leveraged RDNA 2 architecture cores, the same as featured in the Radeon 6000 series of graphics chips for PCs, and both the Microsoft Xbox Series and Sony PlayStation 5 consoles.
