Last year, Samsung partnered with AMD to license the latest IP graphics cores for use in their own single-chip systems for mobile devices. Now in the GFXBench test software database, the first results of testing Samsung SoC engineering samples with AMD RDNA graphics have appeared (for simplicity we’ll call these Exynos 1000 processors). And these data are impressive compared to the competitors. For clarity: the competitors in this case are the best Apple SoC A13 Bionic and Qualcomm Snapdragon 865.
For convenience and visibility of the difference, the results for each of the subtests for all the platforms that we have collected in the table.
| Try GFXBench | GPU Radeon at Samsung SoC Engineering Showcase | GPU as part of Exynos 990 (Galaxy S20 Ultra) | Adreno 650 GPU in the Snapdragon 865 configuration (Galaxy S20 Ultra) |
GPU in configuration Apple A13 Bionic (iPhone 11 Pro Max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manhattan 3.1 | 181.8 FPS | 85.5 FPS | 89 FPS | 123.5 FPS |
| Aztech normal | 138.25 FPS | 49.5 FPS | 54 FPS | 91 FPS |
| High aztech | 58 FPS | 20.3 FPS | 20.4 FPS | 34 FPS |
As you can see, the “raw” GPU based on the RDNA architecture of the future Exynos 1000 SoC outperforms the competition Adreno 650 in performance two and a half times faster than the Apple A13 graphics module.
Presumably, the Exynos 1000 SoC 5nm family with Radeon RDNA graphics is designed for the future flagship Galaxy S21 (or S30, whatever the end is called), which will launch in 2021: Samsung should launch 5nm products this quarter. And, to be fair, they have to compete with the future 5nm successors of the current Snapdragon 865 and Apple A13 Bionic: Snapdragon 875 and Apple A14 Bionic. Furthermore, it is important to note that these results relate to early engineering samples, while the performance of serial chips may be higher due to optimizations or lower due to limitations due to heat and power requirements for a particular serial device.
In this context, it would be more appropriate to recall the recent rumors that Samsung is also developing a special high-performance Exynos SoC commissioned by Google.
