Recently, according to media reports, Samsung's pure GPU has made progress and will be used first for entry-level mobile products. Previously, GPU chips on Samsung mobile phones basically needed to be purchased from third-party vendors, especially Qualcomm. Dragon processor. But now, Samsung is gradually getting rid of Qualcomm's bondage.
It is said that Samsung's self-developed GPU will adopt a new architecture, which can be used across platforms, not limited to mobile phones; in order to increase the energy consumption ratio, Samsung's self-developed GPU instruction set will also change. In addition, Samsung hopes to be in the middle. The low-end models first use self-developed GPUs, which will be geared toward autopilot and deep learning.
In terms of energy efficiency, Samsung said that the energy efficiency ratio of self-developed GPUs will lead Qualcomm's products, and the degree of autonomy will be comparable to that of Apple's self-developed GPUs. In addition, Samsung's self-developed GPU leader is the former Nvidia executives. GPU shipment time, it said that Samsung is likely to launch self-developed GPU next year, which means that Exynos 9820 may not be able to turn.
Insiders mentioned that Samsung's investment in Exynos processor research and development in recent years is not too big, and with the deepening of research and development, more manufacturers hope to use Samsung's Exynos processor and memory chips. From these It is not difficult to see that if Samsung wants to develop independent GPU chips, it is very likely.
From the current information, we can basically confirm that Samsung will launch self-developed GPUs, and there are also highlights in architecture and technology. But so far, Samsung's self-developed GPU has no clear parameters and test data release. So, how is the specific effect? Still to be tested.
