In recent years, mobile games have flourished and become an indispensable way of mobile entertainment. With the prevalence of these games, people's performance requirements for mobile phones have also changed. When you buy mobile phones, you no longer only look at the CPU part of the chip. The GPU part is also a very important part.
All along, there are rumors that Samsung wants to research GPU. It has been reported that Samsung's next-generation flagship processor Exynos 9820 may use self-developed S-GPU. However, the latest news shows that it will also use Mali GPU. .
Recently, the electronic engineering magazine EE Times has published some information related to Samsung's self-developed GPU. 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; Samsung's self-developed GPU instruction set will also change.
In addition, Lu Jianping, former director of MediaTek's technical department, has joined Samsung. He was responsible for MediaTek's GPU project. Lv Jianping was first employed at Nvidia, responsible for graphics design and has extensive experience in graphics technology. EE Times also said that, in theory, Samsung's Self-developed GPUs can be licensed to other processor vendors. But Samsung has not yet decided whether to develop for the market.
Self-developed GPU, in the chip industry is a very high-tech project, Qualcomm's GPU technology originally derived from the acquisition of ATI Imageon from AMD; Apple before the introduction of self-developed GPU, almost hollowed out the core technicians of Imagination. Intel After digging AMD's chief architect, it will not wait until 2020 to start research and development of discrete graphics.
Finally, the time to market, analysts speculate that Samsung's self-developed GPU will probably be launched in a year. As for its actual performance, you will soon know.
