As part of the licensing agreement, AMD provided Samsung with its radeon technologies for deployment in the Exynos SoC series, which we have known about for two years now, as this was announced in June 2019. between AMD and Samsung LSI, which aims to bring highly efficient chips for mobile deployment. However, the details of the agreement and the cooperation itself are not known.

But we know that Samsung wants to use the RDNA graphics architecture in its new generation of Exynos chips, in their most powerful versions. According to Lisa Su, this is specifically the current RDNA 2, which also indicates that the resulting products will not be long in coming. This was also mentioned in a recent report, according to which it will be an Exynos 2200.-
In addition, we learn that this graphic offers both support for ray tracing and VRS (Variable Rate Shading), or simply variable shaders to increase performance, using data from individual pixels on larger areas, where the graphics are very similar to how shows the following figure.

These are two technologies that AMD already supports in the case of RDNA 2 on PCs and game consoles. With VRS technology, Exynos chips will come second after the Adreno 660 GPU, but when it comes to ray tracing, they will probably take the lead here, and it is clear that Samsung will try to point this out separately with its marketing. But another thing is how the ray tracing support will be really used.
