Samsung might opt for Exynos chipset powered by AMD GPUs for its upcoming mid-range lineup, which is expected to launch next year. The South Korean phone manufacturer has been working with AMD since 2019, with the Galaxy S22 series bringing AMD’s mRDNA 2 architecture to mobile devices for the first time.
According to a post by Revegnus on X (formerly Twitter), Samsung might opt for AMD GPUs for the Exynos 1480 and Exynos 1430 chipsets, which are said to power the company’s 2024 mid-range lineup. The tipster added that the upcoming chipsets will focus more on Image Signal Processing (ISP) instead of gaming performance. A recent report by SamMobile also suggests Exynos 1480 and Exynos 1430 will debut with the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A15 smartphones.
Samsung plans to apply mRDNA to the mid-range Exynos processors (Exynos 1480, 1430) set to be released next year. However, this is more focused on ISP rather than gaming. Please don’t have overly high expectations for gaming performance.

Since the upcoming chipsets are mid-range, they may offer less performance than last year’s Exynos 2200, with AMD opting to disable ray tracing to reduce costs. Right now, mid-range Exynos chipsets are powered by ARM Mali GPUs, but if Samsung opts to go with AMD, we might see a noticeable performance bump.
For the uninitiated, GPUs are not only used for gaming but also play an important role in camera and display-related hardware. They are also used for machine learning and image upscaling.
