Samsung and AMD recently expanded their licensing agreement for the use of Radeon graphics in Exynos chips. Although not explicitly stated, this is preparation for Samsung’s next LSI chip, tentatively named Exynos 2500.
The focus with the new design will be on optimization. This is pretty vague, but AMD already has high-performance hardware — the problem is getting them to shrink to smartphone power levels. So the focus is likely to be on improving efficiency rather than increasing performance (however, in a thermally restricted smartphone, they are about the same).
Unofficial reports claim that the Exynos 2500 is slated to be used in the Galaxy S25 generation two years from now, and next year’s models will still use the Snapdragon for the Galaxy chip. In previous generations, Samsung had to roll out a new Exynos chipset every year for the new S series, but now it may take a long time to get things right.
AMD has time to work on things too – the Xclipse 920 from the Exynos 2200 has been based on RDNA 2, ever since RDNA 3 debuted. The official goal of the new architecture is 54% higher performance per watt, which is exactly what a mobile GPU needs.
