Interesting. So, Qualcomm has forever basically relied on their GPU prowess to remain king of mass market mobile chips. Mali doesn't really compare.
As I remember (which may be wrong), AMD designed Adreno for Qualcomm. Also, they're apparently working with Samsung now to design a GPU for Exynos.
While not explicitly clear, wondering if this a potential play to compete directly with Qualcomm et al in that space, or purely server oriented.
- basilgohar 5y agoAMD has demonstrated a strong desire and commitment to custom semiconductor designs beyond the traditional desktop, server, and mobile segments – this is best demonstrated in their multi-generational design wins in the recent few Playstation and XBox consoles. And there are more examples if we look a little further.
- newusertoday 5y agoQualcomm has mostly relied on its integrated modem to remain king. It is good in other things as well cpu/gpu/adsp/pmic etc. in general overall solution rather than the chip. AMD did not designed adreno for Qualcomm. AMD acquired ATI and as part of acquisition it also got mobile gpu(adreno) which was designed for handhelds. It later decided it does not have much use of it and Qualcomm acquired the ip along with people at peanuts.
- silisili 5y agoAny more info? From what I can tell AMD acquired Imageon in 2006, and sold to Qualcomm in 2009. Adreno is an anagram of radeon, afterall.
