New Exynos chips with AMD graphics could come this year
We recently wrote that AMD graphics chips could appear on Exynos processors for another year, but the Sammobile portal mentions that we could see this combination later this year.
Will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 come with AMD graphics on the Exynos chip?
The well-known leaker IceUniverse has information that we could find this combination in a smartphone in the autumn. By then, the new Exynos 1xxx and 2xxx processors should be ready. This period is the time of arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Note device or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold device. There is also a chance that we will see the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE at that time, but that is just our speculation. But based on past years, this could be the case – just that at the time, no new Exynos chips were released in the past.
We will see Samsung release Samsung × AMD GPUs in the second or third quarter of 2021, which will be used in the next Exynos 2xxx and next Exynos 1xxx processors, Samsung may change the release time of the new processors.

In addition, a shift can be seen in the Exynos processors themselves. In the past, they were known for their poor performance (compared to Snapdragon 8xx) and poorer heat management. However, this has already improved this year with the arrival of the Exynos 2100 in the current Samsung Galaxy S21. Samsung also changed its team that manufactured these processors and, instead of its own core cores, incorporated only Cortex cores into the chip. A significant part of the chip is mainly the Cortex-X1 core, which has a higher performance than the others and has a clock speed of up to 2.9 GHz.
