Test performance figures cast a long shadow on the Qualcomm Adreno 650.

Re: AMD Radeon powered Samsung SoCs benchmarks spotted
If the claimed increase in performance is true, I'm very glad Qualcomm is being knocked down a peg!
Re: AMD Radeon powered Samsung SoCs benchmarks spotted
Nice figures. This has always been ATI's sweet spot well before they were bought by AMD, so it's good to keep the trend going. The number of consoles/gadgets/devices powered by ATI/AMD for the graphics chip is quite impressive.

The irony is Qualcomm has Adreno graphics,which is a anagram of Radeon!

I had somehow completely missed that, now it seems so obvious. I guess it's because I wasn't looking for it though that it didn't jump out at me.

ATI sold their mobile graphics division to Qualcomm a long time ago.
Re: AMD Radeon powered Samsung SoCs benchmarks spotted
I guess AMD is back in business.. maybe cheaper phones now too?

Ah, that explains it then. I hadn't been aware that they had ever had a mobile graphics division.

ATI Imageon:

Actually it seems it was AMD who sold them to Qualcomm after they bought up ATI,which in hindsite was a shortsighted move!
Re: AMD Radeon powered Samsung SoCs benchmarks spotted
Naturally there are anagram generators on the Internet.
https://ingesanagram.appspot.com/
This one is backed by dictionaries:
"Create anagrams in Danish, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian (bokmål and nynorsk), Spanish or Swedish."
My favourite one is this French word
aronde 1. (archaic) swallow (bird)
Fast and light for mobile phones?
Or Italian
denaro 1. money (from Latin dēnārius as any Asterix reader should know)
For what Samsung will have to hand over to AMD?
Re: AMD Radeon powered Samsung SoCs benchmarks spotted
After AMD bought ATI, they were in a tight position.
They seemed the mobile sector dead weight (this was just before mobile sector really took off with smart phones).
In hindsight, they would have been mega rich now, but can't turn back time or see future.

Possibly, but you can't do everything and perhaps Qualcomm made good use of the IP because it was a key part of their core product.
Compare that to Nvidia who have been failing to sell Tegra chips in significant quantity for a long time now. Other than the Switch, I don't think any of the Tegra products really took off (though I have a few, and they were all pretty good to use, even the HTC One-S wasn't bad though it did get rather hot).

Yeah, there's that too. ATI obviously suffered too as resources had to be stretched far too thin, across various markets.
Intel almost killed them too with their illegal practices, but that's a whole separate story.
Re: AMD Radeon powered Samsung SoCs benchmarks spotted
It depends on the power consumption.

In the mobile space, it has to be equal or better than what it replaced

Indeed. There is a reason why Nvidia's Tegra failed in phones. I had a white HTC One-S, and parts of the plastic case discoloured it got so hot :D
Re: AMD Radeon powered Samsung SoCs benchmarks spotted
The Tegra SOCs were a node behind the competition IIRC,so consumed more power.
Re: AMD Radeon powered Samsung SoCs benchmarks spotted
This would be a nice addition, but unfortunately recently the Exynos chips haven't been at the level of the Qualcomm chips performance wise, so I would like to see real world results.

I think you're missing the part where the GPU component in question here is not an Exynos unit.

I think what was being suggested was that while an AMD GPU on Exynos is interesting, if Exynos can't measure up on the CPU side in comparison to Qualcomm, the superior GPU might not provide enough of an incentive for people to choose Samsung devices containing it.
