“#New Samsung GPU brings raytracing to phones \u2013 here’s why that matters<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The popularization of raytracing has led to one of the biggest leaps in graphics quality in recent memory, but so far the technology<\/a> has only graced PC and console rigs. Now Samsung is preparing to bring raytracing to phones with the announcement of the Exynos 2200 processor, with a new \u2018Xclispse\u2019 GPU powered by AMD\u2019s RDNA 2 architecture.<\/p>\n

The partnership between Samsung and AMD was first announced in June of last year, and the Exynos 2200 was actually supposed to launch last week before Samsung ghosted everyone<\/a>. It\u2019s here now though, and it spells an interesting future for gaming on smartphones \u2014 while helping Samsung differentiate its hardware from Qualcomm\u2019s ever-popular Android chips.<\/p>\n

For those not in the know, RDNA 2 is AMD\u2019s current flagship graphics architecture \u2014 the same tech powering the Xbox Series<\/a> X and Playstation 5. Of course, having more powerful graphics overall will help push more polygons, but raytracing is the real star of the show. While traditional lighting (AKA rasterization<\/a>) in game<\/a>s works by essentially using clever trickery to app<\/a>roximate believable lighting, raytracing behaves much more like real light, simulating the actual path light rays would take from their source to your eyes.<\/p>\n

In the real world, light might enter from a window, bounce off the floor, to a wall, then onto a helmet before you actually see it. Shadows are created when the light\u2019s path is blocked by an object, and still other times light is redirected by objects. Raytracing can simulate all these things.<\/p>\n
