Samsung Smartphones to Potentially Integrate AMD FSR for Enhanced Graphics

Speculation suggests a potential upgrade in the graphics capabilities of Samsung smartphones, with AMD's FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) technology possibly being integrated. Contrary to initial assumptions that this enhancement would be exclusive to Samsung phones powered by Exynos chips with Xclipse GPU based on RDNA 2 or RDNA 3 architecture, rumors hint at broader compatibility.

It is suggested that AMD's FSR technology might also be made to work with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. The source of these rumors, Revegnus, indicates a collaborative effort between Samsung, Qualcomm, and AMD to implement FSR technology across both Exynos and Snapdragon chips. The objective of FSR is to optimize resource usage by dynamically adjusting the resolution at which graphics are rendered. This can be particularly beneficial in mobile gaming, allowing for additional graphical effects such as ray tracing while conserving processing power. Given that FSR is designed to be hardware-agnostic and platform-independent, it is expected to function with Qualcomm's Adreno GPUs without issue.

The integration of AMD FSR into smartphones could introduce games featuring both ray tracing and FSR technology on Samsung devices. Details regarding the specific system-on-chip (SoC) models that will support this feature, and the inaugural games to leverage it, remain undisclosed. This development could position Samsung and Qualcomm as strong competitors against Apple's MetalFX Upscaling, which can be seen in titles like "Resident Evil Village" for iOS devices. For AMD, adapting FSR for mobile use represents a strategic expansion into a new market segment, with the potential to enhance gaming performance on smartphones that might otherwise experience reduced frames per second at higher resolutions.

While there is no official announcement about the release date for this technology, it is speculated that it may coincide with the launch of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S24.
