Samsung working on a new GPU? Rumored for a Q3 2019 launch
They already have in-house custom ARM CPUs. They make the DDR4 RAM chips that everyone are clamoring for. They also have an in-house fabrication technologies. The next step is to apparently make their own GPUs.
Samsungβs latest hire is Dr. Chien-Ping Lu, the man behind NVIDIAβs nForce integrated graphics processors. For those out there who are too young, NVIDIA used to make Northbridge chipsets for both AMD and Intel CPUs. If you are too young to know what are Northbridgesβ¦ well, good for you.
The man is apparently hired by Samsung to help complete a new in-house GPU IP by Samsung. Rumors point to the new GPU hitting the smartphone market, which would make more sense than targeting PCs, at least for now. It would be a big step for Samsung too, given that their Exynos has a massive lead in its CPU performance over Qualcommβs designs, but falters when it comes to the GPUβs prowess. They already have custom CPU cores, thus a custom GPU does not seem too far off.
Until Samsung releases a finished product, we will just have to wait for the Korean giant to show their cards. And we donβt mean GPU cards. Or what if Samsung did make graphics cards?
