The new Samsung Exynos processor could even integrate ray tracing

Some time ago, in June, at Computex 2021, AMD proudly announced its partnership with Samsung, the two manufacturers will collaborate on the development of a new chipset for the latter's phones. At the time, there was talk of ray tracing technology, which would be integrated into the circuits of the Exynos SoC, but since then absolutely nothing has been heard about it.

So far… In a way. The interesting news comes from an important leaker, named Ice Universe. He posted a screenshot of an official Samsung post on the Chinese Weibo platform on Twitter. According to sources, the new Exynos will be guaranteed to benefit from ray tracing technology. This means that there is a chance that the long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S22 (which could be launched early next year) will be the first guinea pig in this regard.

With the new Exynos, Samsung and AMD are becoming a threat

"Samsung Exynos has made it very clear that Ray Tracing will be implemented on the new Exynos GPU"

That's what the Ice Universe post sounds like. If things come true, Samsung could be proud of one of its greatest achievements. The new chip could jump on the bandwagon of tough players like Apple and Qualcomm with its Snapdragon. All that remains to be seen is the global announcement from the South Korean manufacturer.

In addition, we can expect only the spearheads of the Exynos chip series to include this technology, if we take into account the previous statements of AMD representatives. In turn, only high-end phones could benefit from these processors, let alone provide visible ray-tracing.

Take, for example, the Ultra version for the Galaxy S22. It is said that the phone will have a WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440), and as ray tracing is a solid challenge for the power of the hardware, the following question arises: will we have noticeable graphical improvements on 6-inch screens? That remains a mystery until next year, when Exynos processors would be launched shortly after the Galaxy S22 series.
