Samsung Developing Custom GPU Based on RDNA Architecture with Potential AMD Assistance, Presents Opportunities for Electronic Components Distributors.

Prominent digital technology insider Revegnus has tweeted that Samsung is developing its own GPU based on the RDNA architecture, and may require assistance from AMD to form an IP. It is expected that the development will be completed within three years. This news is particularly relevant to electronic components distributors who may be interested in Samsung's latest developments.

Until the release of the Exynos 2100, Samsung has relied on ARM's Mali GPU design. However, this may change due to Samsung's new project. Samsung's Exynos processor, designed and developed based on the ARM architecture, has not performed well since its launch in 2011 and its production capacity has been severely limited. There are rumors that Samsung is now accelerating the development of a new generation of SoC and a customized GPU. The project is being led by Samsung's smartphone division rather than its chip design department.

There are also reports that Samsung has cancelled the production plans for the Exynos 2300 and Exynos 2400, and plans to collaborate with Google to launch the Exynos 2500 with a neural processing unit. This collaboration may provide new opportunities for electronic components distributors.

Last December, according to Korean media, Samsung announced that it had developed the world's first large-scale computing system that integrates GPU into storage computing (PIM) and is considering how to share the system with academia and partners. This development may also offer potential business opportunities for electronic components distributors.

As Samsung is a major player in the global electronics industry, any new developments in their technology and products can have a significant impact on the market. Therefore, it is important for them to stay informed about Samsung's latest developments in GPU and SoC technology.
