AMD and Samsung Announce Strategic Partnership in Mobile IP

Looks like they fixed most of the issues they had with Exynos 2200 / Xclipse 920 (RDNA 2) on performance front with 2400 / Xclipse 940 (RDNA 3)

In initial tests CPU side is slightly behind Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 especially in nT content, but GPU is a match or even surpassing the latest Adreno.
In Geekbench GPU Xclipse has slight lead, 3DMark Solar Bay (with RT) shows Xclipse in slight lead with better result stability in long test runs and clearly better worst result. Older 3DMark Wild Life Extreme has Adreno in sight lead but Xclipses have better stability and near match worst score.
In actual games Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends and Fortnite their performance is pretty much equal. In CoD: Mobile Adreno beats Xclipse silly, but Xclipse was capped at 60 FPS for unknown reason while Adreno was capped at 120 FPS. In RT supporting War Thunder Xclipse holds 100 FPS while Adreno throttles down to 40'ish FPS.

Part of the reason is also the process improvement. Seemingly the newest 4nm process by Samsung, 4LPP+ finally catches up to TSMC 4nm.

Next year's Exynos is going to be on their 2nd gen 3nm, SF3 (3GAP). Could this have RDNA4? The IP is ready and should be shipping in GPUs by Q4.

Samsung makes mention of the Exynos 2500 though specs unknown at this point, likely to be revealed by September-October. I think it's likely to have the same RDNA 3.5 GPU IP as Strix Point as AMD mentioned that they leveraged their collaboration with their mobile partners and optimized for power efficiency.
