Samsung announced its latest mobile processor, the Exynos 2200, sporting a new graphics processing unit (GPU) using AMD\u2019s RDNA 2 architecture dubbed \u2018Xclipse.\u2019<\/p>\n

Samsung has teased plans to include AMD graphics tech in its mobile chips<\/a> for a while now, and in June 2021 announced that its upcoming Exynos chip would offer ray-tracing capabilities<\/a>. The Exynos 2200 delivers on that promise with hardware-accelerated ray tracing in Xclipse.<\/p>\n

Ray tracing, for those unfamiliar with the tech, attempts to simulate how light physically behaves. In video games, ray tracing can help produce more realistic-looking lighting effects, including light that can bounce off reflective surfaces. However, so far ray tracing has proven to be difficult for GPUs to handle and often brings a significant performance hit compared to other lighting solutions.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s impressive to see the technology come to mobile chips. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how well it works in practice. Moreover, Samsung shared this surprisingly weird video touting the capabilities of the Exynos 2200 GPU:<\/p>\n
